There are hundreds of diets out there that will temporarily take your weight off, but very few that will help feel so much more energized, healthier in so many different ways and keep the weight off for a lifetime!  This way of eating will help many find, for perhaps the first time, a life that involves not just weight loss, but wellness! 

Dr. Atkins wrote the first edition his book decades ago.  The ideas in it are nothing new, they were around for decades before that, and were used successfully and safely by athletes and body builders.  This is, as Dr. Atkins says, "an unabashed feel-good diet, a full-energy diet, a lifetime-wellness diet." 

The trick? Eliminate carbohydrates from your diet. Ditch sugar and starch.  That simple.  Too simple??  In fact, in today's society, it is common to find people that are actually "carb addicts", hooked on sugars, or starchy foods.   We've become a society of junk food junkies, craving our "fix" of heavily sugared foods and drinks, and the foundation for most meals has become starches. 

This way of life really does involve significant changes in our habits and way of thinking about food.  That's why I created the 1 Atkins-Low-Carb Mailing List, for support and information.  Here you will find friends that are struggling with their eating behavior and weight just like you are.  Friends to ask questions, share hints, recipes, and ideas.  Friends that will be there for you when you struggle, and cheer wildly for you when you succeed.

The amazing thing is,  that you will find that you feel better both mentally and physically while eating this way. You will find that your cravings for foods will go away and "comfort foods" are no longer necessary. You will NOT feel hungry.  You will learn to treat food as fuel for your body, not as something to do when you're bored, or depressed.  You will find energy that you never thought you lost way back when you were six years old!
