I Am Just Amazed by My Atkins Results

"Bob" wrote in message ...

For dinner, I eat 9-12 ozs of beef (steak or burger) or a 8 oz pork chop
fried in olive oil and garlic. I have a salad with 2 cups iceberg lettuce
and about a cup of sliced vine-ripened tomato.

Your diet is seriously lacking in fiber and other nutrients found in
veggies (especially dark leafy greens). For starters, I'd trade your
iceberg for something a little darker and greener - spinach or
romaine? Iceberg is mostly water - pretty void of any nutrients. Add a
big heaping pile of steamed broccoli or something.

You're losing weight, and that's good. I just don't see you being able
to stick to such a limited diet for the long haul. You need to add
some variety and nutrients to your diet at some point.

I guess Saffy is busy table-dancing around sixteen hungry guys and Carol is
getting way more attention from her husband, but this is life.

Hah! Actually, I flared up my feet about 3 or so weeks ago and I'm not doing
much of ANYTHING in my efforts to stay off of them. I think it may have
depressed me somewhat, though, because I'm just not posting as much here or
anywhere else. That and I ended up working pretty hard on and fighting with a
couple of computers for about a week solid (I WON, though :-).

I agree will all the recomendations to put better veggies on my plate. I'll
get on right away. BTW, I never considered this my diet for life. Just to
reach my weight goal.

Thanks

Hello all!

I'm writing this post because of what looks like great results I am having
on
the Atkins diet.

On May 15th I started induction, at a weight of 265 and my height is 5'8".
It was holy hell. Headaches for a week. But, I was told to hang tough and
wait it out, so I did. So far, so good.

My diet is very simple, because I HATE to cook, LOL. I have a 4 egg omlette
with 3 oz of mozzarella cheese every morning. I break a rule here. I don't
eat for another 12 hours, because of work. I know that is bad form, but I
just don't feel that hungry.

For dinner, I eat 9-12 ozs of beef (steak or burger) or a 8 oz pork chop
fried in olive oil and garlic. I have a salad with 2 cups iceberg lettuce
and about a cup of sliced vine-ripened tomato. I use an olive oil and wine
vinger dressing with salt, oregano, and garlic powder. I drink about 1/2
gallon of filtered water a day.

My only vice is Starbucks' Tazo Chia tea. I love that freaking stuff, LOL.
So I allow myself a cup during the week and 2 on the wekends. That's my
caffine fix.

So, the results so far? I don't use a scale. I often find them discouraging.
However, I was in a RiteAide yesterday and I see a scale. Ok, I gave in.
I
see my weight and almost pass out. After 109 days i lost 65 pounds!!!! I
am now 200.

I feel good. I have more energy that before. I'm sleeping better. No ill
effects have yet been noticed by me. I'm going to start exercising in Sept.

My target weight is 155-60. I want my 32" waist back and it looks like that
is going to happen. I am very excited. I just hope that there are no long
term health effects. But, staying at 265 for the rest of my life can't be
too healthy either. Pick your poison. I picked mine and I love it.

-Bob

Out of curiosity, what do you plan to do then?

I didn't either -- at first. I was so stunned by the positive turnaround in my
health and overall outlook, however, that I'm a total believer in low-carb for
life! No WAY am I going back to feeling like that again when I now know that I
CAN do something about it!
