Hello, I am new to this, did atkins years ago , developed a dairy, egg allergy.Cannot eat these any more, will this be hard to stick to without dairy, eggs, etc.? Also , how do I encourage my husband, who is 40 lbs overweight, close to diabetic, and high blood pressure? He wont go low carb....

I just make things & if he wants to taste them that is great . My husband wants his junk so you have to leave them behind & hope they will follow , I made some cornbread the other day and he ate it . I couldnt believe it . The egg & dairy question someone else will have to help you with that I am sure they will give you plenty of ideas !

Welcome jenn Tucson! The difference between atkins and fat to skinny is we Replace all your *bad* foods we don't remove them .That way when you lose your weight you don't go back to the *bad * foods and gain the weight back.Its a vicious cycle.We are a lifestyle change.We have vegetarians here that do just fine.I have a column on the homepage called ask umpa where I can convert your favorite foods to fat to skinny friendly.As far as your husband  is concerned,(or as I tell people with kids) just cook don't tell them .That way you can get a guage on what they like without preconcieved notions.I find with most men they lose weight extremely fast so once they can see their toes again they would eat car tires if they had to!If I can help please ask.
