Has Anyone Ever Tried The Low-carb..atkins Diet?? If So Anyone Ever Had Success?? How Much Did Ya Lose?

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:11:52 +0000

I did something close to Atkins about 2 years ago to lose 35lbs, which I accomplished in 4.5 mths. I’ve continued on the maintenance phase ever since and have kept the weight off. My blood tests come out great, and I’ve never felt fitter and healthier. The science and studies behind low carb is all good bro, but you’ll have to research and decide all this for yourself amidst all the suffocating anti-Atkins dogma
The problem I see is that many people see Atkins as a crash-diet, a quick fix to lose weight fast, then stop doing it. Then they go back to their bad old eating habbits and put it all on again. Then they blame the diet because it was “too hard to sustain”. Atkins actually spells out a 3-phase diet, the final maintenance phase being quite relaxed and sustainable for life. If people followed the plan long term, they would have greater success keeping the weight off. If they find even the maintenance phase too difficult to sustain, then yeah, they should find another diet that they can sustain for life.

If you have, please tell me your experiences with it. I am eating low fat, low calorie and hungry all the time and exercising and the scale will not budge. I gained 60 pounds with my pregnancy. Baby almost 11 months old now. I have lost 30 pounds which came off quickly after the birth but now the scale does not budge.
I am not breastfeeding. Also, when you get into ketosis with purple test strips which I read about in Dr. Atkins book does that mean you start burning fat and losing weight.

I’ve have. My blood sugar rose and fell unpredictably while on a low carb diet. Since going back to carbs, my blood sugars are more stable.

2 years ago, I was diagnosed diabetic–and carbs make blood sugar too high. They put me on a low cal/low carb diet–150 mg of carb, 1300 calories a day.
I lost 65 pounds in a year, and my sugar, cholesterol and Blood Pressure all went to normal.
Then I quit smoking & gained it all back–and now I am back on track and lost 17 lbs in a month!

Get off that diet ASAP. I got terrible cramps and fatigue, while on the Low carb diet SOuth Beach. I got off and felt so much better. I think you are depriving your body of enough simple sugars that is needed for energy, and that causes the chest pain-no glycogen in your muscles. Get off the diet and if the pain persists see a Dr.
