Hi all
This is my first post, so please be gentle
I have today decided to start the Atkins diet. I need to/would like to lose about 70lbs and I also like the science of how it works. I have the book, I have read the sticky posts and have also looked on the Atkins website. But I am still confused about portion sizes. What confuses me is where it says "as much as you like". Well, eating "as much as I like" is what got me to being so fat LOL.
I also don't eat meat, which is what complicates things a bit. I eat eggs and cheese and will, under protest, eat a bit of Salmon and prawns but any other fish and meat is out of the question. I like quorn but hate tofu. And a quite prescriptive diet telling me what to do at and when works better for me. So if anyone is able to direct me to any specific Atkims diet plans that give a bit of guidance - especially of portion size, I would be so grateful. I really want to do this, but as I sit here planning what to eat tomorrow, and how much, I am stuck already.
Many thanks in advance
