Hi Rizzy,

I'm a full time student and have been on Atkins for a year or so. I manage fine, but it does take a little planning. There are Burger King's and all kinds of eating places on my campus (Sac State) so whatever I order, I toss the bread and ask for extra lettuce.

I carry some snack with me and I'm never without my bottled water. It's no real effort, nothing more complicated than eating out without doing Atkins. Just different choices on the food.

If you're serious about starting, use this time to clean out the carb stuff out of your house!! That's the worst part about just starting is that you're not really sure what to eat and you don't want that stuff around.

Good luck.
