i really like the atkins diet. it's only my second day but i haven't even been tempted to cheat. there are a lot of yummy foods and i haven't been eating too much, and i'm trying to stick with the lean meats but still get a few cups of the right veggies daily. i was 150 yesterday but i'm back down to 147 today and i'm hoping i'll be at least 145 by monday but it does come off fast. i'm also going to keep exersizing because it'll burn more carbs off and then later- the fat, and because it's just plain healthy for me and makes me feel good. i'm really confident right now- i want to lose this weight and i think i can finally finish losing it with the atkin's diet. i realize it's a life change though- but it's one i'm willing to stick to because it's not that hard. i want to lose about 12-17 pounds in the next month, which i know is a lot but i'll be losing a lot this week and the next on the atkins and then it should pretty much even out. well- i hope all of you are doing well! good luck!

Reply from anne, Age 17 - 05/30/04 - IP#: 66.220.240.xxx thanbks to the supporters. and to the people who aren't- i don't care what you have to say. from my experience it's good, and you don't not eat any carbs you have 20g a day for the induction phase and keep adding them in, and this diet helps LOWER your cholesteral and you don't stay in ketosis for long. god- people get the facts! i hate it when people don't even research before they accuse- they just go and say what everyone else is saying. how do you think we ate when humans were just scavengers?!not that many grains i can tell you that. also- it's shown that older bodies discovered who ate less carbs had healthier bone structures then their decendants who were eatsing a lot of grains...
Reply from girly!! - 05/30/04 - IP#: 65.69.56.xxx atkins i have a lot to say about that diet but i won't say it all b/c you prob dont wanna hear it all, you need carbs you don't want too much but you need them and are you planning on staying with this diet the rest of your life b/c if you only stay on it for example 2 weeks then you just gain the weight you lost in that 2 weeks back, but what am i doing saying this its a great diet im just telling you so you know you might gain it all back if your only on it for awhile. Besides that im really happy for you and keep up the great work! im really happy you lost weight and i hope you reach your goal! good luck~
Reply from js, Age 12 - 05/29/04 - IP#: 148.167.126.xxx atkins is SO not healthy. becuase one, ketosis is not a good state, as the diet makes it look like, second, we need carbs to live, and amny of our organs cant properly work without it, 3rd becuase tomuch protien cuases calcuim loss, 4th, becuase meat has a ton of cholestrol, and is setting you up for heart problems as well as kidney problems, and 5th, becuase somtime even after the diet, your pancreas sint able to have the proper amount of islet cells, so you feel tired form high blood sugars, and low amouns of energy being prossesed into your cells.
