Welcome

February 12, 1999

Welcome Michele to the group. I'm sure you will make and interesting addition.

Sounds like you have had frequent struggles in your life, and overcome many of

them. You will find you are not the only frustrated writer in the group. RLS

and fibromyalgia is a tough combination. The most important thing is to find a

good physician who listens and cares. There are some things that can be done,

and this group is a good place to find out more than you would ever care to know

about what to try.

Hello and welcome to the list !!!

You will find we are a wonderfully supportive group. As far as the

Atkin's diet is concerned, there is a 14 day induction period where you are

eliminating carbs and carb-cravings. During the 14 days, you are allowed to

eat til satisfied on most meat, eggs and cheese keeping your carb intake to

20 grams or less. You are supposed to eliminate all sugar and caffeine (I

believe) though it is a YMMV (your miles may vary) thing. And most important

you are supposed to drink 64oz of water plus 8oz for every 25 pounds you want

to lose every day. We weigh every Monday and you are welcome to join in.

You may also find it beneficial to measure as you may find that when you are

not losing pounds, you are still losing inches. During that 2 week

induction, it is not

uncommon to lose 10 pounds or more. But, again, this is a YMMV. Penny has a

wonderful site with a lot of good information in it. The link is listed

below my

signature line.

Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Someone will try and

find the answer for you.

If you go to www.onelist.com and sign in for this list. In the file section

there is a low carb cookbook with over 500 recipes in it. Also, go to the

link section and you will find many links with great information and more

recipes.
