Hi all, I've been on Atkins for around a week now. My trouble is low blood sugars due to having Type I diabetes. This causes me to be forced to eat sugar and carbs that I had not intended on eating. Well, what happens is I then feel guilty about eating the sugar and carbs since I went in this with a plan of not to cheat.
Then it hit me! If I am (and maybe even YOU reading this) are truly committed to this WOE, and we happen to cheat at times (which WILL happen), we must forgive ourselves for it. Then, get back on track immediately. This isn't like a diet you go on for a while. This is it, baby! The key is to make a commitment to stick it out for the rest of our lives! Wow, I am writing this to help others and it is helping me just reading it.
Please add your comments about not feeling guilty too.

Btw, if you know a Type I diabetic, the best insulins I know of are Humalog aka Lispro-short acting insulin, and Lantus-which is a long acting insulin. Write them down and give them to a person with diabetes and you may help them live a better life.
Thanks everyone, I have learned a lot from reading many of the posts. I
Sincerely,

Jimbo I
