prodigal son

[DDubb82]

hello everyone..


I'm not exactly new to Atkins. I lost about 40 pounds on it and actually managed to keep it off for the last 3 years or so. I kept switching to low fat/high carb diet but results were minimal to the amount of effort I put into it. So, now I'm back at Atkins. One thing I noticed about this diet is that its easier to follow mostly because of the restrictions (weird huh?). With a low fat diet it was calorie this and no white flour that. With Atkins, I know straight up what I can eat and what I cannot and be successful at both. Also, it seems the effort I put into it was meaningful (I can lose 2x the weight versus the standard low fat diet).

So I'll be stciking around for awhile, hoping to help some newbie people with their diet as well as receiving some great advice from the veterans.

Yep dubbs i agree, its what makes this so easy, its either a straight up yes or no as to whether you can have it, with no confusion! as long as you read labels that is!

Welcome back to this WOE. The absolutely best part of the lifestyle is how easy it is to follow. I personally don't think it's weird at all Also, it's how I feel on this lifestyle.

I'll look forward to seeing you around on the list.

Hi Ddubb! Welcome to the board, and back to Atkins. You know the drill! It is much easier to eat this way than any other "diet" around, if you ask me!

See you on the board.

Congrats on making the decision to come back! This is the best! I feel like I never want to go back to my old WOE... it made me sluggish, depressed, and sick... (diabetes) I forget I'm on a 'diet' as it has truly become a lifestyle and the way I want to live forever! don't have diabetes now either! yeah!
let us know how your doing and good luck!
