Tinakaye from Ohio is 36 years old and the mother of four. She has been following the Atkins diet on and off for ten years, but used it only as a "diet" and not lifetime a way of eating. "I started again two years ago," she said, "with the first year being off and on. Then, a year ago, the light bulb went off in my head. I finally understood that this must be a lifetime way of eating and not just a diet for me. I know that Dr. Atkins repeats many times throughout his book that this is to be a way of eating, but I thought I was "different" and it didn't apply to me...... Wrong!"

1999 Low Carb Success Stories The Bickfords Low Carb Success Story Low Carb Success Story: Scott Anderson Low-Carb Success Story: Cheryl & Randy Nicholson Meet Dana Carpender, Low Carb Expert & Author

Last week I spent several hours on the phone with Dana Carpender, the author of How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet And Lost Forty Pounds. I have a word of warning for you. Do not talk to Dana if you're depressed and want to stay that way. Do not talk to Dana if you're bored and want to stay that way. Dana is upbeat, informative, funny, and fascinating. It would be impossible to be in a grand blue funk when you called her and still be in one when you hung up the phone. Impossible.

This Low-Carb success story was submitted by Cheryl during the month of June 2000. Cheryl's story was so fantastic, I decided to print it exactly how she wrote it.

This month's success story is Scott Anderson. Scott is a teacher in Greece, NY and started the low carb lifestyle at the end of 1998. As of this writing, Scott has lost 42 pounds and is now at his maintenance weight. CarbSmart spent a few minutes with Scott to find out how he did it.

It is always a joy to meet new low carbers, and even more so when you meet couples who are not only partners in marriage but in low carbing, too.

She also teaches and sells Creative Memories scrap booking supplies and gives classes.

Today is the day that I start the Atkins Low Carbohydrate Program (low carbs, high protein, normal fats). I have read most of the book and am ready to start the Induction phase. This is a journey I will continue for the rest of my life.
