Hi all,
This is such a great site for feedback and information, glad to have found it.
Anyway, my wife and I just started this new life style and look forward to a great sucess together. We have two young children, and have both been fighting a weight problem, mostly since we have been married, but I have been working on loosing weight most of my life.
We have been LC for only about 1 1/2 days, but I already feel as if some of the cravings of non-stop grazing have slowed down. I don't know if this is just the excitement of starting something new or if I am purging by body of the dreaded carbohydrates that make me always looking for something to eat. I hope it is that latter, since this will make this whole exprience much easier.
Anyway, we are reading the Atkins book but I have a few questions.
Is it possible to drink too much water? I have heard somewhere that you really should not drink too much more then the 64oz a day. I am not sure I believe that, but wanted to see if there was any feedback on that. Is it at all detrimental to drink far more then 64oz a day?
Also, is it possible to take just a multi-vitamin instead of the Atkins vitamins? Just looking to see what my options are.
Thanks to all, and look forward to a long and health life of LCing
Chris
