Well after several weeks of reading everyone elses stories I have finally worked up the courage to introduce myself. LC eating is making a big impact here in our part of Australia and both my husband and myself decided to give it a shot after hearing quite a number of success stories. We are following Atkin's and have both been on the program for three and a bit weeks. Andrew has lost 17 and a half pounds (I'm so jealous!!) and I have lost 9 lb. As we've been eating virtually the same things I am a little annoyed that he seems to be having an easier time of if that me. I guess it takes longer for women to lose than men.
We have found that having a fat fast day once a week really helps us along. Thank heavens for macadamia nuts!! I have to admit there have been times during the last couple of weeks where I have gotten discouraged but hubby is very encouraging and usually keeps me going. I found it quite difficult to get into ketosis, but by including L-Carnitine in our supplements and by dong the fat fast I managed to kick start it and now it's easy to stay in the pink.
I am a little amazed how I have lost the longing for sweet things. I can now look at most of the things I loved to eat and turn away without any temptation. Well thanks for all the great advice I have read. I am so glad I found this forum. Dianne
