Hoping 5th Time's a Charm

I'm not new to a low carb (Atkins) lifestyle but I have fallen off the wagon more times than I care to count. I am the first to admit that I am a weak person when it comes to food, and especially so when I'm stressed.

Sure glad to find this forum with like-minded folks. I need an enormous amount of support and I do believe I will find it here with so much wonderful information you all share.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello to everyone.

Vicky (in Oregon)

Welcome back to LC Vicky

You have found a great forum for information and support!
Dr Eades has some old but still valid posts on doing LC "the second (or 5th) time around".

It has had many comments from readers over the years. His tips on what makes a restart "harder" are good. https://proteinpower.com/drmike/201...w-carb-dieters/
All the best,

Hi Vicky!

I’m in the same boat as you are. I’ve started over with lowcarbing too many times to count, and I’m a stress eater as well. I’m here to get support too so feel free to pm me anytime.

Thank you for the invite to PM. This goes both ways! Yes, the starting over scene is so familiar to me now, I don't even sweat it anymore. But I am a bit more desperate now that I'm getting older. Fat seems to come off much slower after a certain age.

Anyway, thanks so much for the welcome. Same to you!!
