Back Again

[drewdundee]

I started the Atkins diet (or what I thought was the Atkins diet) on the 6th of august and I was quite successful with it to begin with but I found the restrictive foods hard to get used to at the start. I lost about 14-18lbs initially on the plan and ended up screwing myself over and putting most of it back on.

Three weeks ago I decided it was time to take matters into hand and seriously give the Atkins lifestyle another chance. So I bought DANDR and wow it totally opened up my eyes. So far my total weight loss has been 35lb (including my inital weight loss). I feel like I've been educated all about food and how and why I put on weight. Can honestly say I never thought changing my lifestyle would be so simple after the first three days (ketosis) It's been plain sailing.

Anyway I wanted to say if anyone is doubting the plan and how and why it works seriously give the book a read it will open up your eyes. And when your clothes start to sag and bag like mine have you will feel amazing.

I guess I should be in the extended induction category now.

P.s Drink more water

Congratulations on your success so far....sounds like it's about time to move from Induction to OWL and start adding foods back to your daily menus. Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin. The November challenges will be starting in a few days - look around and join some that interest you.
