    Default Atkins

    I did a search and did not see anything about the Atkins diet. I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts about it or experience with it. I've been on it for 3 weeks now and I'm pretty happy with the way things are going.

    It seems like people either love it or hate it. I respect different peoples thoughts on it because no nutrition plan works the same for everyone. I was eating lots of junk before because I was feeling depressed and lazy for such a long time. I was pretty much living on bread, pasta, and sugar.

    I thought going low carb would be more difficult but I've been doing this for three week now and it isn't too bad. I'm eating lots of new veggies I never knew excited and feeling pretty good. I've lost a little bit of weight but mostly I am glad to have my energy back again.

    I tried it once and had a lot of success with it.

    I had success at first.
    My bad cholesterol went up...I never had a problem before and I did NOT eat the fatty meats and cheeses all the time
    My brain felt slow and I had no energy
    After the inital time (which I lost 30 pounds) I weened onto more carbs EXACTLY the way I was supposed to I and gained back 40. I exercised as usual and even a little more.
    I didn't feel healthy, but some people do.
    DO what you feel is best. If you choose to do so, best of luck, but beware there is a possibilty of bad outcomes (as with any diet)

    I did the low-carb thing last year and it really worked. I stuck to it for a few months but anything that cuts out an entire food group leaves me feeling very deprived. And I hated every day of it. Kinda like trying to be faithful to a guy I didn't want to have sex with. Eventually I wound up having the equivalent of a carbohydrate orgy.
