Im Honestly too Poor for The Atkins book
"*AmBeR*" wrote in message om... I can only afford the food for the diet and that's why I have been asking questions all of you have already read. That's the reason why I'm overweight, I buy food that's on sale rather than what I should be eating. Until now that is, I have widened my budget. (but not enough for the book) Try using www.atkins.com to start. Like many posts before mine suggest, you can find the book very cheap online or in a used book store. Norsk |

Im Honestly too Poor for The Atkins book
I have the old book that came out in the 70's but wanted to see if there
was much different in the new book so I checked it out of the library. I didn't want to buy it if it was the same thing I had. |

All the basics are there for free (once you've got internet access - but that doesn't seem to be a problem). Main Atkins web page: http://atkins.com/ The four steps of Atkins' plan: http://atkins.com/howto/index.html Induction: http://atkins.com/howto/phase1.html http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-325810.html Foods allowed on induction: http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-464579.html And there is tons more good info there. Beware of their products, especially for induction, but since your budget is tight, that shouldn't be a problem because the prices are excessive. Good luck! April.

Sorry, but I don't make much money either, I don't buy your reasoning. |

Go to the Atkins webpage and read. http://atkins.com/ You say you can't afford the book but you were asking about low carb chocolate earlier. Chocolate isn't food. It's a treat. If you can afford low carb chocolate you can afford the paperback book. Yes I asked about chocolate because I didn't want to mess up, not because I have the money to splurge on books when I could ask for info here.......and they were on sale here for $1 a candy bar, so I thought it was a good price. |

I drive the local food bank truck one day a week to collect from the local supermarkets. Trust me, it's a glut of carbs which in turn gets handed out to folks who can't afford otherwise. JD |
