Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are
you using for this website? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've
had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Welcome!

I discovered low carb eating in February 2010 when I was frantically trying to shed some unwanted weight for an upcoming holiday in March and what started off as a quick-fix diet has now turned into my permanent way of eating.
I had heard of the 'Atkins Diet' before, but didn't know much about it except that it involved lots of meat. After researching it on the net and joining a couple of forums for support, I purchased a copy of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution from Ebay and was ready to begin my weight loss journey!

For those of you who don't know much about what the plan involves - in the initial stages which involves a minimum 2 week induction, you reduce your carbs to 20g or less per day. Just to give you a rough idea of how much this is - 1 small 600ml bottle of Coke contains 67g. The majority of your carbs come from certain vegetables and the rest of your diet is made up of fat and protein.

At first, I couldn't get my head round the fact that I was able to incorporate cream, cheese and butter into my recipes and lose weight. After all, isn't this the opposite to what we've been told to do? No more rice, bread, pasta, fruit, milk or anything that contained sugar including hidden sugar in sauces.
Within 2 weeks I had dropped 3.5kg (7.7lb) My starting weight was 62.4kg so I never had that much to lose in the first place however, I've heard of others losing far more than that during induction.
As well as getting to eat foods I'd previously avoided (chicken skin, creamy sauces, full fat mayonnaise etc) I felt permanently full and best of all, I was no longer bloated. Even my partner wanted to join in Atkins after seeing what I was feasting on!

Fast forward almost 4 months and I'm hovering around the 58kg mark. I've cheated a few times but at no point, have I had any desire to go back to eating the way I used to, to feeling like I needed a nap after eating and experiencing fluctuations in my mood directly related to my blood sugar levels rocketing and plummeting throughout the day.
I hope if you are embarking on a similar journey, you will enjoy these recipes and discover all the wonderful benefits of banishing sugar and cooking the majority of your meals from scratch.

All the best,
