Atkin and heart problems | | Hello, I am at a crossroads, I almost 1 year ago started atkins. Lost a decent amount of weight. Unfortunately I started about July 1st 2008 and failed July 28th 2008 (ironically my anniversary) we had gone with our 3 children to Busch Gardens to celebrate my husband's birthday and anniversary. I never resumed the diet once I had cheated on it. After getting back, my dad concerned with my heart, I have a condition that causes dizzy spells, chronic migraines and rapid ( and I do mean rapid ) heartbeats. My doctor has told me to lose weight.... but is unsure of how I should do it. Sent me to a nutritionist. He had told me, I didn't fail Atkins, Atkins failed me..... I haven't any clue what that means? But he put me on something equal to the zone. I either lacked the willpower, or didn't see results fast enough. I am very weird like that, get bored easily, I think that is why I did so well at Atkins before. I got the ketone sticks, so everyday I saw what I needed too, I was burning fats! Since dipping out of the zone and totally lost on what I should attempt next, I got introduced to Mona Vie. My parents were immediately interested in it for me, the Pulse is cardio healthy. My cholesterol went from 326-176 in 6 weeks. I am 28 years old, confused as all get out! Should I hop back on the band wagon with Atkins? I remember feeling bad the first couple days, then afterwards, I saw weightloss. I have a very supportive husband, he supports me in what ever I want to do. I go shopping for clothes cause mine keep getting too tight. I am so incredibly bummed out. I am depressed all I end up doing for the day is sitting in on the computer playing my games. How was it for everyone on the second try? Can anyone give me some good imput on how to suceed at this? I don't like feeling like I do... lost, depressed... and reaching for more chocolate cookies or ice cream. Help!!! |
