I am so glad I found this site! Today is my first day on the Atkins diet. I tried it many years ago (oh...mid 70's maybe?) and am ready to give it another try. Actually I am miserable and desperate! *lol* I have high hopes...I am really enjoying reading everything here!

Welcome to the forum! And congratulations on giving it a new shot! This is a great bunch of people and there is plenty of advice when you need it and comraderie.

I have osteoporosis....bad....perhaps you could tell me where to find info about calcium rich foods that are allowed on Atkins? I know you can have cheese...and broccoli. I am really worried about not having that vitamin D fortified milk daily as I have already had one fracture.

and THANKS for the warm welcome!

I am not so cure about the Calcium Rich foods...but I can tell you that this is a great place to be when you want to lose weight and it is very helpful...

I would think that perhaps someone with similar concerns will see your thread soon and have some advice!!

Take Care of yourself and just remember to keep loggin in and reading all the great stuff here!!
