hey everyone. this is a great place to go! other than the fact that there are people here trying to lose only like 5 lbs, and are still thin, it is great! ok, ok, dont take offence!!! i know that the skinny people help out ALOT! well, im 5'6, and NOW i am 188lbs. 7 days ago i was 195lbs! yay! actually, the way i did it was that i went on atkins with my family.....now, i hate the whole atkins thing, but i had nothing else in the house to eat! so what i did was instead of dropping to 20 carbs a day, i dropped to 40 carbs aday. i can have tons of stuff! well, if u like meat, its a great diet...rumors that u gain all the weight back ARE NOT TRUE! (that is after you stop)anyways, if youd like to talk or get tips, email me at smartgurl0099@wmconnect.com or jchsgoodgirl@yahoo.com

Reply from cathy - 06/23/04 - IP#: 213.233.146.xxx the atkins is not good... it tricks your body into thinking that it is starving... and being deprieved of what it needs (carbohydrates) so as soon as you start to eat like a normal person, carbs/protein and fats... your body tries to store carbs as energy, for fear that it will be deprieved again... the same thing would happen if you cut out protein, even though you need 70% less of it than carbohydrates, it is vital.... you would loose weight the same way as in restricting carbs... but your skin would go green, purple, and start to wrinkle and fall off... you would also loose muscle... but atkins has a fair few cons too, namely ''bad breath, bad skin, spots, greasy hair and skin, and plenty others'' ... so really the best diet would be a balanced healthy diet complied with some good excersise and plenty of water... that is your best route to a healthy life......... arent we lucky we are able to have one...
