Hi everyone... I'm still doing some research but I'm planning to start on Atkins on Sunday... I'm very excited about this opportunity, this is a plan that speaks to me like no other. I have type II diabetes, have had since I was 22 and I'm hoping that this plan will give me greater control over my blood sugar. If anyone has any advice for a newcomer, I'd love to hear it. I've been reading all kinds of posts and this seems like a wonderful community!!

Jenn,

The only advice I can give is simply this..... YOU are the only person that can allow this to fail so DECIDE to succeed and you will.

I have just started the Atkins Diet and after only three days I feel great, miss nothing and enjoy just knowing that with each day that passes, *I* have regained MY life......one less carb at a time...

Welcome to the Forum, I wish you success and please use this and every resource you can to meet your goal.

Hi there! Great to have you here with us! About the best advice I can offer you if to do a clean, by the book, induction. I have said this so many times but I really believe it. It may be hard for a few days but it gets easier and your cravings will diminish sooooo much. Low-carbing has been really good to me. I wish you just as much luck!

Thanks so much...
I'm so glad to hear you say that about induction, because I know it'll be a tough road at first, but I'm looking forward to getting to the point where the cravings are at the very least manageable. I can't believe that cravings for chips would go away so quickly, I'm just feeling happier knowing it's right ahead of me.

Thanks for the warm welcome!!
