Atkins???

Okay ladies heres the deal.... after trying to diet on New Years- that quickly went out the window due to FH saying ... lets start Jan 5 lol!!! So I caved.... and nowwwwww tomorrow is the BIG DAY for a lot of us ladies!!!! Now, I want to lose some weight to see some change bc I get discouraged so easily. WW I've failed because I dont drop weight quickly...but FH does. Im really thinking of doing atkins bc I did it once and dropped like 10 lbs quickly. ANy of you ladies thinking of doing atkins too?? Of course I will be doing my 30 day shred as well

I am definately doing WW and not Atkins. But I have done Atkins in the past and it does work. I just don't like to eat that much meat! And usualy when you start to eat carbs again... well lets just say easy weight lost easy weight gain. At least for me anyway when it came to this diet. I've seen people loose major weight in a fast time frame on this diet. One of my mother's friends dropped like 100 lbs on it! If you feel comfortable and it's the fast results you are looking for.. go for Atkins.
And... guys always lose the weight faster than us women! So Unfair!

I started out doing Atkins hardcore in 2005. I have kept the weight off since then. I lost 35 lbs on that diet. You have to make it a way of life and not a way to lose weight quickly. Because if you think 'Oh, I can just do this and lose the 10 lbs and eat again whatever I want.' You can't do that with Atkins. After you reach your goal, you can eat bread and stuff but in moderation and only stick with whole grains and high fiber foods. If you have more questions about this, let me know.

How did you do it as a way of life? The last time I did this, after 2 weeks I went carb crazyyyyy I ate everything in sight for a whole night lol!!!! I did manage to lose like 10 lbs and felt great.... but I was so sick of the meat. I just hope this time with a wedding and bikinis coming around, I can actually stick it through this time. How long did it take you to lose 35 lbs?

I say no to atkins...and I mean NO.

eat 5 times a day. Lots of LEAN protein at each meal with veggies. Carbs in the morning and at lunch on days you weight train. On days you dont weight train replace the carbs with a healthy fat (almonds, avocado, olive oil etc.)

I have been eating this way since last march and absolutely love it. Works for me and I feelg reat!

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you lose in a month? I am just really starting to get depressed about how I am going to look in a bikini.... I am like 25 lbs over-weight and like all the weight is in my stomach... seriously! My legs are not fat. My arms need to be worked on, but thats a different story lol

Honestly i dont look at the scale but rather at my body and the changins that I have made. I have lost about 15 pounds since I have started and am now maintaining. I have lost inches all around and dropped 2-3 sizes.

Oh wow you dropped 2-3 sizes, thats great!!!! Yea, I am hoping to drop some serious weight fast on Atkins and then just keep something to continue low carbs and lean meat so that I can realistically stay on it. After 2 weeks, I'm normally DONE with not being able to have carbs lol

I have done Atkins before, and I'm going to do it again starting tomorrow and then I am also going to do the shred. If you have never done Atkins before, go to the website and learn it, or read his books. He's not all about no fruit or veggies. There are 4 phases, and as you loose weight, you begin to add things back into your diet. If you are going to do it, drink PLENTY of water to keep hydrated and prevent getting constipated, and to protect your kidneys.
It's a great diet, and can give you awesome results!
