Re: has anyone tried atkins?
Hi Chrissy, we have a bit of family low-carb going on. My FMIL lost 50 lbs last year doing low-carb.
My FH and I started the end of January and have had great results. He has lost 45-50 lbs and I'm at 35 lbs down. FH's uncle has lost 30+ as well.
We do mainly Atkins style but we also try to keep it on the low-fat side since my FH has high cholesterol. At his 3 month cholesterol check after doing Atkins his cholesterol has improved quite a bit.
We also all exercise, not just diet.

Re: has anyone tried atkins?
Dh and I have been doing it for a little over a month! Its great!
For me there are so many benefits besides the weight loss (me-12 lbs, DH- at least 15). I feel better than I have in a looooooooooooooooooong time! I have had stomach problems since I was a teen, and with this no flour, sugar, etc, I haven't been sick all month!
Dh was a total carb addict, he never thought he could do it. But, after the first week you lose your cravings and your appetite decreases. Its amazing!
Sorry for the rambling!

Re: has anyone tried atkins?
I am on it and at my 1 month mark, 22 lbs. Sometimes I just want to give in and eat pizza, but then I think of how quick the weight is coming off and how great I feel. The energy and just not feeling hungry all the time. I have learned to get real creative with my meals. Doing this with FH has also helped, so I do all the cooking for both of us. He has done well too, 16 lbs in one month. This weight has also come off without exercise as well. Yes, we should be exercising, but just haven't found the time. It is a good diet!
