Visiting SFS.com for the first time?
What This Site Is All About:
Since its humble beginnings as an AOL page back in late 2001, SugarFreeSheila.com has offered
what I wish *I* had available to me in my former struggles with weight:  free tips, support,
encouragement, a little guidance, and a helping hand from someone relatable whenever I needed
it.  If something is not covered on SugarFreeSheila.com, I not only welcome e-mails with related
questions, but vow to answer every single one.  Since I am here, and for free, for those who have
taken the time to acquaint themselves with the program, all I ask is that you read the 2002 Dr.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution book (the only book of which I am a proponent), as well as my Atkins
FAQ & brief User Agreement.  I happily welcome e-mails from everywhere around the globe -
after all, this is what I do, and I am always here to help!

See how I, your average Generation Y female, took 35 pounds off my 5'3" medium-size frame,
taking me from a tight size 10 to a 2 in just 5 months (dropping to a 0 after implementing strength
training), keeping it off effortlessly since 2001.  My Atkins testimony is supported by loads of
constantly-updated photos, my body fat & cholesterol readings, & so much more.  While
headshot-only weight loss success stories may suffice elsewhere, you won't find that here.  No
airbrushing or retouching either.  You get me as I am, warts and all.
I dispel here all the crazy myths regarding Atkins - such as the false "no-carb" mentality &
the notion that it is a "high-protein" diet.  The fact is, tons of veggies & plenty of
low-glycemic fruits are indeed eaten on this program, as Atkins is not a high-protein way of
eating, but a low-carbohydrate one. (For example, I only have meat once or twice a day!)
I provide those embarking on this wonderfully healthful way of eating with easy, quick,
scrumptious appetizer, dessert, & dinner recipes - most of them Induction-friendly.  There's
even a printout Atkins grocery list!
An extensive Atkins FAQ, answering every preliminary question you could possibly have about
Atkins ...
As you lose the weight, get gorgeous in every way with self-improvements by perusing my new
Motivation, Beauty, & Fitness Tips Page!
Check out my cookbooks: Sheila's Super-Simple Low-Carb Desserts and Sheila's Super-Simple
Low-Carb Meals: Perfect For Induction, each containing 150 all-original recipes, as well as the new
Sheila's Super-Simple Low-Carb Weight Loss Workbook.  I've got a fourth release in the works!

Always read labels!  I prefer natural
peanut butter not only because it
lacks preservatives ... but mostly
because I love the oil at the top!

Christmas Eve 2006
SugarFreeSheila.com has always relied 100% on word-of-mouth alone -  I have never advertised.
So, why do I continue to do all of this for free?  
For the same reason I refuse to advertise, ask for site donations, or allow commercial ads of any kind on my website:  
It makes SugarFreeSheila.com different!
January 11th, 2007 - downtown Dallas
A bit of a dreary day, but we decided to hit
Anatares for lunch anyway!  I had the Nut
Crusted Salmon, substituting the Boniato
mashed potatoes for a salad.

Sassy's expression after I say "BOBO."  She loves him!
SugarFreeSheila.com is not a website of vanity or ego; it is meant to serve as a useful illustration
of what is possible when a low-carb lifestyle is properly adhered to.  Photos on this site are
frequently updated to serve as proof for those who suspect Atkins may be a short-term solution,
& to provide visible evidence that my own long-term weight loss is valid.  Although these photo
updates are indeed somewhat of a chore, it is necessary & worth the effort for me to allay the
doubts of those who require continual evidence of the long-term sustainability of the Atkins
lifestyle.  After a lifetime of inability to lose weight:  if I can do this, ANYONE can.

My husband stole a shot of me in line for an omelet
before our Submarine excursion.  How I ordered it:  
"Double everything, but no ham."  (I can't stand ham!)

After lunch with my sister at
Houston's in Park Cities  
In my doggy bag is my Pork Chop I had with
steamed broccoli & cauliflower.
These are the shoes I wear after having pedicures
in the summer - this way, my toes can dry
without them impeding the rest of my day!
