Good for you!!!!

i want to be banded also but at this time my insurance will not cover
it.

in the interim until they do, why don't you try eating less and
exercising more? This is a serious question.

Just a 500 kcal deficit each day should get you losing at 1lb/week.
Not as dramatic as WLS survivors, but 50 lbs/yr is a very healthy rate
of loss, and a 500 kcal shortfall doesn't require hunger pains if you
eat smart and avoid empty calories.

Hey Mogroot,
I realize you have a serious power complex, however stop posting
suggestive nonsense. snipWLS survivors/snip implying there is a
significant fatality risk for Lapbanding is a load of ......! If you
think you are so smart 'Dr 50lbs this 500Kcals that' - Then DO YOUR
HOMEWORK ON THE STATISTICS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR TRAP! Fatalities in
the same time span are FAR greater in the Morbid patients that don't
choose Lapband surgery.
Your crummy maths 'energy vs. lbs' is flawed anyway. Why don't you
look up the word metabolism? And then come back to the group and
explain why cows get FAT eating FAT FREE grass. And why some
guzzle-guts can down 2kgs of food in a day, with no exercising & no
diseases stay STANDARD WEIGHT???
Your particular body, Mogroot, is probably in fine working order -
which is why your weight responded in proportion to what you were
eating and the energy you were burning. Stop talking for the masses
(excuse the pun) and give your opinions a reality check - Because,
Metabolic Syndrome is: Insulin resistance, Hyperinsulinism, Fatty
Liver, Diabetes & Hypertension LINKED.
Reason? UNKNOWN? Cure UNKNOWN? Treatment? MANY. Your solutions are
old-school. Rethink the problem. It's not just mathematics. It's
biology, it's chemistry.
And now a lesson on psychology - Get a head check.

After reading your blog entry posted below it seems that you didn't have a
problem losing weight on a diet - you just didn't stick with it.


"When I started working full-time, I didn't have the time to prepare my own
meals daily.
And that's where this diet gets unstuck.
As soon as your carbs get over 30grams a day - the weight will pile on.
That's because the Carbs then become the energy source - and the proteins &
fats will just get stored.

So in a way the Atkins diet didn't fail me, just my ability to follow it in
the long term.

SO...

My analysis is this:
If you follow the Atkins diet properly and strictly - then you will lose
weight.
If you don't follow the guidelines - your health will suffer. Your liver may
even suffer.
I put all my previous weight on and MORE!
