On Atkins for 8½ years; 8 years at goal.
Here's what the site is 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:  tips, support,
encouragement, and straight talk 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 for free, all I ask is that you have first read the 2002
Dr.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution book (the only book of which I am a proponent), as well as my
Atkins FAQ (now available in book on tape-style format) & User Agreement. That's where we start.
I happily welcome e-mails from around the globe - after all, this is what I do, and I am
always here
to help.
 In fact, I now offer global video conferencing via Skype.

See how your average Generation Y female took 35 pounds off my 5'3" medium frame, taking me
from a size 10-12 to a 2 in just 5 months (dropping to a 0 after implementing strength training),
keeping it off since 2001.  My Atkins testimony is supported by loads of constantly-updated
photos, my
body fat & cholesterol readings, & so much more.  While headshot-only & "one 5
year-old pic" success stories suffice elsewhere, you won't find that here.  No airbrushing,
retouching, or phony-baloney MySpace Angles either.  You get me as I am, warts and all.  
I dispel 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 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 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!
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!

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!

Sassy's expression after I say "BOBO."  She loves him!
SugarFreeSheila.com is meant to serve as a useful illustration of what is possible when a
low-carb lifestyle is properly followed.  Photos on this site are frequently updated to serve as
proof for those who suspect Atkins may be a short-term solution, as well as 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 and 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 was able to do this and keep it off,
ANYONE can.
