If you think you can't do it....you won't! And if you refuse to do it correctly....you are going to fail.
1. Don't read the book before attemping Atkins - Rely on the internet
2. Eat all the red meat, bacon & butter you'd like - after all, its all 0 carbs
3. Don't eat veggies or salads, it won't make any difference - fill up on eggs, cheese, meat & bacon instead as long as I eat low carb
4. Eat low-fat - after all, fat isn't good for you anyway
5. Alcohol is ok as long as I stick to the lower carb ones and mix them with diet coke
6. Water is tasteless - adding a packet of Crystal Light or drinking diet soda instead isn't a big deal
7. I don't like my coffee black so, I'll use powdered creamer & Splenda - a teaspoon of powdered creamer shouldn't make a difference and Splenda has no carbs so, whats the difference
8. If I don't want to exercise, thats ok, I don't have to, eating low carb is all I need to do to lose weight.
9. I only have to eat this way for 2 weeks then I can eat REAL food again
10. No one can eat this way forever
Before you know it, the initial 2 weeks on Atkins are completed and....you've gained weight!!! You can't understand why this has happened and you chalk it up to ATKINS being another diet that didn't work for you.
I think we can all relate to this and learn from it!
. If they want to eat cardboard, more power to them... but NO thanks!
) that low fat is the only way to lose weight.
