For those of you who have done the Atkins diet....I want to lose 120lbs. I tried atkins before with success in losing 40 in a month but my willpower and desire for a bowl of spaghetti overcame me that was years ago.. I have a couple questions. I need to get the book, is there a difference in the older books and the New Diet Revolution? I'm just trying to decide which one to put on my kindle. Also, any good links to an Adkins shopping list. I got lost in the grocery store yesterday realizing I knew exactly where to buy rice and pasta but had no creativity wandering around thinking about which meals I could prepare for myself! I am definitely more determined now and have a great bf who is very supportive and a great workout partner, so the support is there...I just gotta figure out what to eat! lol.

I'm not doing atkins myself, but I always browse low carb recipes. There are some great sites with YUMMY looking recipes that will fit with your program....

Pinterest is a good place to look too!

I started last week and I am down 5 pounds. I accually have only been doing it 6 days. So I am pleased with it so far. Sunday was VERY hard and I know I took in carbs. The only thing I hate is being sleepy! I could sleep hours and hours. I knew there would be a couple of days after I started that I would crash but I just can't get my energy up. I am walking 2-3 miles 3-4 days as well. But I am TIRED! Is anyone else having that problem?

I just celebrated 8 years on Atkins last week
To answer your questions, yes,there is a difference in the older books and the new book...the new book was not written by Dr. Atkins. I personally recommend Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 or prior versions.
As for a shopping list, this should help you out http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/low_car...ping_list.html
And for some great meal ideas...http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html
When done correctly, Atkins works!
All the best to you!
