Hi everybody! I would just like to introduce myself.Tomorrow will be my first day on the Atkins eating plan and I am a little bit nervous about it. I have been reading everything that I can get my hands on about eating the low carb way so I guess I am as prepared as I can be. I am sure that I will learn more as I go on.Please excuse any goofs in my typing. Iam a 2 fingered typer. [do they still call it typing?] Well heres to success for me and to all of you ! By the way, how do I figure out the body fat percentage? I would appreciate any help I can get.

Welcome to low carb! And don't worry about the typing.. I am forever misspelling things
So tell us more about yourself. Have you started yet?
What plan are you interested in?
Ask any questions you need to ask... we are here for each other.

So welcome!

Hi Lessara!Thanks for your message. I was going to start today but after spending the night reading alot of ideas on this forum, I thought that I had better get the Atkins book first. I will start the WOE as soon as I get done.I want to start the Atkins plan and see how it goes. I, too, have tried almost every diet in the book without success. One question : I read that one lady ate a whole chicken in one meal! How much meat and cheese can you actually eat? I seem to do most of my eating in the afternoon and night and I eat alot of snacks . Do you have any snack recipes to fall back on? Thanks for your time and happy eating!

I'm a newcomer, looking for a good low-carb wine.
