| I am just getting started on a low carb diet and I just have a quick question. How many carbs a day should I be taking in if I want to lose weight. I am 5'4 and I weigh 153 lbs. I don't look big it's all in my stomach area and no where else. Please help. Thank you! |

| For the first two weeks, you need to consume no more than 20 grams of carbs a day. This is the induction stage. If you can consume 20 grams a day during this stage, you should loose 5 to 8 lbs. If you walk with it, that weight would surely drop off. Believe me, I am a living witness. |

Christine,
20 grams is right and if you cheat especially the first 2 weeks you'll just have to start all over. I wrote you another note but guess it got lost in cyber space.
I did Adkins several years ago and was loosing really good but finally fell off the wagon because I was going through Milk, yogurt and chocolate with drawels all the time. But thanks to Dr Adkins and his low Carbo milk I am in heaven and have dropped 20 #s in 3 weeks! I'm at work now and don't have allot of time to chat but trust me I can tell you all kinds of secrets. Sugar was my down fall but now with Splenda it has made a world of difference in my choices.
If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me back and don't listen to people especially those who don't have to diet. I've tried them all and am doing really well this time around and trust me I have allot to loose but once you make it past the first 2 weeks and see some weight loss, the rest is all up hill.
Gotta go for now and look forward to chatting with you soon.
Sincerely Sherry |
