Lovin' Atkins

I was on the atkins det awhile back and lost about 10 lbs before getting a
job and then getting off the diet. I'm male, 5'6" 171. I used to be 150.
It's amazing what a few months of eating McDonalds will do to you.

I'm back on Atkins now since 4 days ago. I'm going to stay on induction for
3-4 weeks. The biggest problem I've had was not having enough variety of
food. I usually just eat tunafish and burgers with no bun. Plus, water gets
boring.

So today I went shopping and got bacon, sausage, eggs, sirolin burgers,
chicken (no skin), bagged salads, plus some great dressing. I also got some
Acadia Fruit Springs flavored water, sweetened with Splenda. It tastes
great! Kicking soda was hard to do, but with this drink I know I can do it.
Plus, I am lifting weights every other day and power walking 3-4 miles every
other day. Hopefully in 4 weeks I can be down to 150 again. I'd really like
to go to 145, but we'll see. I don't know if I'll stay on Atkins after I
reach that goal, but I will stop drinking so much soda, sugar, and really
watch what I eat.

great sounds good. Look at the earlier posts here there are so many
good ideas for change.

It wasn't that you were eating at McDs, it's what you were eating a McDs.
They have various salads, you know.

Well, that's your fault, but if it works, go for it.

You don't like skin?

No other veggies? They might add some extra variety.

If you just dropped the soda and kept everything else the same, you'd likely
lose weight.

Great!

Don't rush it....go for quality rather than quantity.

You'll likely regain the weight if you don't stay on some form of a
controlled carb diet.

You need to stop drinking any soda & sugar. PERIOD. Are you kidding?

You are much too stupid to make a low carb diet work. Quit now and don't
waste everyone's time.

Stick to it and pay attention. You can be successful with an Atkin's or
other low carbohydrate lifestyle.
Hell my goal was to lose 100lbs and I have dropped 115lbs through diet
and exercise. I am looking forward to losing the rest of this weight.
Welcome and I wish you success.
