I'm finally going to start Atkins! I've been trying to do the Zone (those "blocks" are too complicated!) & the 40-30-30 works well when I use it (40% carbs, 30% protein 30% fat) I just can't seem to pay that close attention to the exact amounts! So Atkins it is! I tried it many years ago - can't remember if I lost, but I do remember bad breath! What do the Atkins people do about that?.... Sugarless mints?
 
So, does this mean you are going to be part of my support group now? Please say yes, I need all the support I can get :)

I'm on Atkins. No one has told me that I have bad breath. They are either too kind or I don't have it. It's a good sign, though. It means you are definitely in ketosis. You are using your stored body fat for fuel. That is a very good thing.

I believe other Atkins people use sugar free mints, sugarless gum and mouth wash to help with this, I'll let them advise you about that little issue.

I'm really glad to see you here on WISH. It's a great friendly place and so helpful for me. I'll bet you find it helpful too.

If you want to add the WISH challenge clipart to our signature there is a great post telling you how to do that <b>HERE</b>.

What we do is start with a zero loss when we take the challenge, even if we have lost a lot of weight before we start. Then everytime we lose five pounds we can "trade up" to a different clipart. It's really a lot of fun and a little added incentive to stay motivated.

If you will be joining us now will you take a minute and post to the Challenge thread? It helps me to keep our list of WISHers up to date, I hate leaving names off (I do it everytime, though :rolleyes: ). That thread is <b>HERE</b>

I think you are going to like it here. We have a lot of fun and we help each other succeed. It's really wonderful how it works :)

Welcome to WISH! Get ready to be successful :)

Hi minniecarousel!! Glad you have joined us on the WISH Board! You will find lots of friendly and supportive people here!!

I am also on Atkins, but no one has told me I had bad breath either...but I also chew sugarless gum each day, so maybe that is the reason? LOL Anyway, glad you are here!! :wave:
