Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Glad to have you with us . As everyone who has been successful with Atkins will attest to, there is a lot of negative crap on the net. Most of it is from people who A) haven't done it themselves and are just retelling stories they've heard or did it themselves but didn't do it according to the book. People in the (A) category are just spreading rumors (grrrr!) and people in the ( category probably didn't read the book, didn't read ALL of the book or didn't even pick up the book... consequently they didn't know what they were doing and when the way of eating (WOE) didn't work for them, they blamed the way of eating (instead of blaming themselves for ignorantly approaching this way of eating). Knowledge is power and I applaud you for buying the book, READING the book, shopping to get prepared and speaking with your physician. Best of luck! -Marlena 214.5/160.0/150 > >My name is and I live just outside of London in the UK. I haven't >started the Atkins diet yet, I only got the book delivered from Amazon this >morning.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hi My name is ....I've been on Atkins since June 2000. I'm a nurse at a neurology office and don't see any reason why you can't do Atkins since you have MS. I would check with your doctor though first of course. If you have any questions about MS I'd be happy to help....I have access to alot of info at work. Welcome to the list....we are glad to have you.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 > I shall see my doctor first and as I have multiple sclerosis I > also need to speak to my ms nurse to make sure that a low carbohydrate diet > is okay for me. , Welcome to the group! I have a friend with MS who did the diet with great success. She only had about 40 to lose, but it seemed to do her just fine with no adverse side effects. Good luck to you! I too still have a very hard time trusting that eating all this fat, cholesterol, etc. is GOOD for you - LOL Britt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Kolleen, I'm so sorry for your devastating loss last year, and that your grief and sadness is now compounded with an Asherman's diagnosis. I am happy though, that you were able to find this group. There are many women here who have gone through similar experiences. I think we all understand your feelings of fear and outrage. I also developed AS after a loss (but earlier than yours) and I still have trouble getting past the unfairness of it all. First of all, it's great that you've found Dr. Indman. I've read ( on this board) many excellent things about him and his work. You should really read some of the success stories on the main website. They are incredibly inspirational. I think only you can decide what is best for you and your husband. Best wishes to you on this hard journey. Haley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
