Hi: This is Sarlye

I found this site from Low Carb Friends. I am so glad to find this Canadian site.

My husband and I have started the Atkins diet since June 11, 2001. So far, we have both cheated.

We are going to do better since we do feel better and not as bloated. We are getting more discipline.

The problem we have is getting use to the menu. It sure takes some getting use to when you have been brain washed to eat low fat and carbs most of your life.

Looking forward to getting support for each other!

Hi Sarlye,

Welcome aboard, glad you found us There are lots of us Vancouverites here, currently organizing a dinner for next week.

Remeber this, we're not eating high fat, it's "them" who eat low-fat and miss out on all the essential fatty acids and omega-3. We're just going back to normal!

Thanks for the Welcome

I would be interested in meeting up for coffee and chat, etc. I have Mondays and weekends off so my time is pretty flexible. Please feel free to email me.

This group of people is fabulous for providing support! I hope you and your husband stick around and share youe experiences with us all.

It may seem odd at first, programming our minds to accept foods that have been on the forbidden list for years but once you get there...well this is just the best WOL imaginable!

Stock up your fridge and check out some of the great recipes posted on the links at this site. The rest will all come with time.

Welcome to the board Sarlye!

It's always good to see more Vancouverites here. Keep you eye on the Local Low Carbers section. That's where we post upcoming events.
