Hi all,


As I mentioned I am new to this site. I am planning to do the Atkins WOE. I had considered doing it a long time ago and began reading the book and got discouraged because I didn't understand at lot of the Lingo in it. I have been thumbing through the threads and I just have to say that I have come across some of the nicest and supportive people that I have ever seen. This site is very beneficial and I am very happy to know that it even exist. I would have never imagined such a community existed.

Now as stated before I had planned on doing the Atkins diet a long time ago and was discouraged. I think I somewhat understand the WOE now but still have a few questions about it. For the induction process, can someone explain to me how the lo-carb veggies and lettuce could possibly be spread out throughout the day? I read about the 3c's of lettuce and wondered if that 3c's would consume the whole 20g's for one day? Is snacking between meals allowed? What is the cheese rule(how much of what kinds? Is there a type of cheese that you can have unlimited amounts of?) What about sweetners what is a can have if there is one? I just can't drink black coffee with out some sort of sweetner.

I am sorry about all the questions... but I want to get started as soon as I can but just have few little fuzzy's still running around in the old noggin that is preventing me from moving forward with this. I'd appreciate any suggestions that anyone have to offer.

Thanks
