Has anyone tried "Your Last Diet"?
Hi everyone -
I'm new here. I've been reading posts for awhile and thought I'd chime in. First, about Kirstie, I can totally feel her pain! I lost 50 lbs. about 20 years ago and kept it off for 15 years by exercising and eating smaller meals. But then about 5 years ago I had a neck surgery and have had a lot of physical problems along the way which leaves me unable to do my 2 hour workouts like I used to. I just started doing pilates about two weeks ago and find it's the only exercise I can possibly do, especially now since I'm recovering from a broken ankle. sigh So...having said all that, I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT! I miss my cute self. I've been reading "Your Last Diet" and have started the program a few days ago. It seems really interesting to me regarding reducing and then eliminating sugar. I definitely have that sugar addiction and to a lesser extent a carb addiction. I get in a trance when I eat those things and they disappear quickly! I also really liked the idea of having three meals with no snacks in between in order to reduce the possibility of grazing. This is contrary to every other diet I've read about which suggest 5-6 small meals throughout the day to "maintain an elevated metabolism". I also like the idea of eating protein with each meal which I have not done, especially with breakfast. I'm interested if anyone here has tried this and to hear how they did on it. |

LauraM, Good luck with your diet. YLD is a good book, and has helped many. I'm an Atkin's kid myself, but mainly because that's the first book I read. In any case, I've found it doesn't matter really all that much what you eat, just cut out Sugar, White Flour, White Rice and reduce your carbs to the fullest extent. It really helped me to use a calorie counting program to see where the carbs actually are. I use LoseIt! for the iPhone now, but also have used http://caloriecount.about.com. -A |

I swear these groups are strange. I'm really liking how I'm feeling without so much sugar and have learned alot about insulin and glucose levels. Since your're an Atkins guy you probably know this.....what are the daily recommended allowances for carbs on Atkins? Thanks for the link to count calories. I saved it on my desktop. |

When I read the message the possibility occured to me. Based on that there's no way I was going to follow the URL. If someone who has a long posting history posts a URL I may well follow it, but not a new poster or a low rate poster. S/he also gave a URL with no partial quotes of its contents - I don't care how long or good your posting history is I'm unlikely to follow a URL without a quote of its contents to help tell me if following the link is going to be worth it. It may have been a knee jerk reaction but the reason behind it is very clear. No cautious or experienced reader would follow such a link unless they already knew the site from other sources. I've used about.com before but without a partial quote as a sample, not gonna happen anyways. ... *Since your're an Atkins guy you probably know this.....what are the daily recommended allowances for carbs on Atkins? Atkins is a process that uses the reactions of your own body (detecting ketonuria) to discover a fully customized carb count. It's not one number that works for everyone, it's a starting point that works for 99+% then a process to discover the level that works best for your own body. Because it's fully customized like that it works for a higher percentage of people who do follow the directions than any one-size-fits-all plan can. Because it's fully customized like that a low percentage of people do actually follow the directions. I think that's why newer plans that have become popular aren't as customized - It's hard to get people to follow directions and even harder to write directions that will be easily understood by large numbers. So newer plans do variations on the one-size-fits-all method. |

Do you mean that because there's more work involved in figuring out what works best for you (fully customized), not as many people actually do it? Nothing good in life comes without work. "Your Last Diet" seems to be very sensible and I like that I feel like I'm understanding more about how our bodies process what we eat. I'm keeping a journal for every meal and also writing everything down including the protein and carb contents. I googled the Atkins diet and one url said that starting at 20 grams of carbs isn't the best idea because of the likelihood of not staying on it. They suggest starting at 80 grams or even higher and then gradually reducing it. That makes sense to me. Even though Your Last Diet doesn't really speak about the number of carbs, I am trying to control the number. It's been a few days now and I haven't had any processed sugar. Yeah! Only from fresh raspberries and blackberries which I mash and put on top of a mini wheat bagel in the morning, which I have alongside my Metrx Whey Protein drink. It's a way of life, not a diet. I used to live that and I'm trying to get back to it. I feel like an addict going through withdrawal! |

Now I have more energy than I have had in a long time. I'm 62 years old and doing the LC thing is the best plan for me and my body. I'm at 40 grams of carbs a day, and that is what my body lets me know works best. Very slow in losing, but I feel sooo much better. Good luck with YLD. Sounds like that is the best for you Peaches |
