Hey Jas,
Welcome to the forums, and this thread.This thread was basically started to reach out to all those Indians lo-carbing.I believe we share a similar lifestyle and therefore can help eachother with this WOL, sharing and discussing our diets, experiences etc.
Jas,I'm located in California, have been here for a cpl years now.I'm about 32 and have kids who go to elementary school.
I've been on Atkins before and found it almost impossible to continue then because of lack of knowledge abt the diet, inavailability of variety in terms of food and social pressure.But it was back then.Now i totally believe that Atkins works for EVERYONE, including me and its not just another diet but a way of life!
I havent lost much wt. but have lost a few inches all over (which keeps me happy) .Let me admit i never lost even this much while i was on other diets.I feel so much better,and my hunger pangs and food cravings have gone down!Earlier on all i could think of was food, now i have to remind myself to eat to keep my metabolism going.
I do'nt feel the need to rush myself into losing wt fast, so i'm on OWL, taking it easy n enjoying my veggies and chicken.
How's it going for you?Wander around and you'll find this forum a great place for all the information you need.I would suggest start writing your diet (if you are not already doing so).
www.Fitday.com is a website most dieters use to record their diet plans.I'm sure you'll find it helpful.
If you like you can join us at the other thread for Indian lo-carbers too.You'll probably find more people there with whom you can interact.
So that's it for now.... Catch ya soon-HAPPY LO-CARBING !!!
