Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Monday
Do you always start a diet on Monday, I used to think that was the only day I could begin. But I started Atkins on a Wednesday in August 2003. I woke up and felt so horrible and thought enough of feeling like this.

With Atkins, it's best to start on a Thursday because of the expected carb flu (so you can be at home in comfort during the worst of it). But many people start on a Monday, because we are conditioned to think of it as the begining of the week.

I started on a Saturday. It is a good idea to start towards a weekend, when you are off work for a day or two. Or at home for a few days, whatever days that can be. So as to handle withdrawls and such better in the comfort of your own home. When I quit smoking, I did the same thing. > I started on a Saturday.

I agree that it's sensible to start on a weekend, especially for low carb plans in which some people suffer some effects of carb withdrawal (mine were mild but others have reported feeling quite ill for a couple of days). I happened to have started on a Monday, which worked well for me for several reasons - it also happened to be the first of the month (12/1/03) which makes it easy for me to recall how long I've been at it. And, it was the first day after my family scattered after gathering here for Thanksgiving. I had to throw away some good leftovers, though. Particularly painful was tossing out a half a dozen bagels - from Kupel's, for those of you who are familiar with the finest bagels in Boston. ouch! carla > Nancy 8 03 burbled across the ether: > > Do you always start a diet on Monday, I used to think that was the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > many people start on a Monday, because we are conditioned to think of it > as the begining of the week. I think we usually start (or re-start) on Monday ... I figure if I'm going to feel like crap I may as well be at work rather than letting it ruin my weekend :o) (incidentally the crappiness of withdrawal is directly proportionate to the length of time off the wagon - more than a day or two and I regret it) Rachel (New Zealand) Choosing Monday or any future date for a diet seems strange to me. Once one has had the epiphany that it really might be possible to lose weight using low carb, the time to start is NOW ("NOW" being whenever the epiphany was).

My worst days were days 3,4,5 which would be Fri/sat/sun. You would have more control those days and be able to feel crappy at home. I was lucky, I was at home all the time, so I started on a monday.
