Don't forget to switch from beer to wine. I'm loving it.
A few weeks ago a FReeper said he chugged a carton of heavy creme and was down 3 lb by the next day. LOL
I'm a Diabetic and the Atkins diet is perfect for me. Plus walking 8 miles a day helps too! ;-)
Too much of anything is not good.
Glad to see the gov. is getting in line to fix the pyramid.
Too many carbs in it. It's upside down.
Atkins has been remarkable for me. I'm in my second year...and I actually have to start taking in more carbs 'cause I can't stop LOSING weight! So it's back to a few more carbs for this Atkins lover.
Ditto! (I have'nt got the walking thing going yet but i'm working on it) ;)
Walking is the best exercise in the world. No strain on the body and makes you feel wonderful and alive. Helps emotionally as well as physically.
I'm still waiting for one refereed scientific study that shows long term (3+years) results across a large group. Everything I've seen has been purely anecdotal.

You mean like the Miller Lite refs on TV? (LOL)
Me, too. I've been on maintenance since reaching my goal weight over a year ago. I've never been in better health, and I'm wearing sizes I hadn't seen since junior high.
Atkins is a way of life, NOT a diet. I'm definitely a low-carber for life!
Thanks for posting this, CBF.
The Atkins Diet is going to be good for those fighting blood sugar but the exercise part is critical. Unless you are working off what you eat, anything is going to accumulate and cause problems.
Oh sure - on any diet you need to exercise. If I didn't exercise I wouldn't feel right at all even with the Atkins diet. Diabetics need to exercise to keep their sugar levels steady. Atkins is alot more than eating just protein too. Too many people were worried that they have to gorge on meat and because of that were afraid to go on the diet. But that's not the case. There is alot more to it than that.
Woe is me. Bread is my favorite food; right below sugar. And Yay! That means 6-11 servings of sugar.
Right. Illegal use of muffins--five pound penalty. Repeat the meal.
You could probably be a poster child, then. ;-)
Oh Honey! Don't we wish? ;-)
The diets call for Nutra Sweet, or Splenda, ect.
But I know how you feel........sugar is good too!
Nice to see it acknowledged that Atkins is not about gorging on 5 lbs of bacon for every meal.
I lost 85 lbs on my own version of Atkins and have never felt better or been healthier.
Although I really LIKED the 5 pounds of bacon!
It's really worked for me too! I went off the lifestyle for the later part of last year and am amazed at how quickly I put on the pounds. So, now I'm back into the lifestyle and lovning the way the inches are melting away.
Still, brownies with vanilla bean ice cream smothered in chocolate syrup would be nice! I can't eat anything with the splenda sweetener in it. Gives me horrible gas!
