Might join you guys...
Good evening everyone,
I've been reading posts for the last hour and decided to post a message. A friend of mine told me she wanted to start Atkins today...I thought "Maybe I should join her"... I started reading about it and I had my "ah-ha" moment. I lost a lot of weight 2 years ago...but didn't reach my goal. Now, I'm back up again...and I don't want to do yet another diet... I want to figure out what's going on...I want answers... I've been telling my husband - I don't know what's wrong...we're eating the same stuff and he lost 20 pounds in 2 months... I'm thinking - carbs....carbs are probably too much for me. So all this to say that this seems like what I need to do...any good stories for me, to encourage me to really DO this? :o |
If you want living proof Atkins works....I'm living proof!:) When its done correctly, Atkins works! My best advice is to read the book (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 or prior versions) amd try it for 2 weeks. I think you will be encouraged to continue! You CAN do this!
All the best to you!:hug: |
I really love the low carb way of life. It takes a few weeks to get used to, but now I feel like I can do this forever!! Hope you find the support you need here. Good Luck!

I used to be on South Beach and lost but regained +.
During the winter I listened to an audiobook on my way to/from work - Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. It was different than reading a normal diet book where you aren't sure if someone has an agenda or wants to sell something. This was an examination of diets from 1800's onwards and an eye-opening reporting of how the low fat diets came to be cut in stone. I suddenly felt like I had science on my side. Objective, non-agenda, non-marketing information about why I have gotten so fat. So I was following the ideas in the book and realized I was actually on Atkins. There are a lot of people who are quietly on Atkins out there. They just stopped talking about it because of the misconceptions. That's how I turned up here. Sorry for the long story, but if you are looking to be convinced, try that book. Then try Atkins and see it if works for you. |
