WARNING about QUICK WEIGHT LOSS!!!

Girls, I posted this on 09 brides and want to warn ALL BRIDES by sharing this story. Please be careful with your dieting.
___________________________

This past Friday, I show up to the church for rehearsal- my cousin's wedding was on Saturday.

NEITHER the Bride or Groom were there....the Groom was RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. He started Atkins on 1/1 and lost over 30 pounds in about 3 weeks. He missed rehearsal and was morphined for the ceremony. He checked out against Doctor's advice. Their honeymoon is cancelled because he is back in the hospital, not sure what exactly is wrong. Definitely kidney stones but seems more complicated.

PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE....whatever you do, be VERY careful. You can imagine the agony the Bride, his family...we all, were in.

omg thats very scary! Good luck to him.
and thank you.

wow scary!

i agree quick weight loss is not the way to go...i started isagenix bc i wanted a quick fix, but it made me sick after a few days. I immediately stopped bc although i wanted to lose weight quick I didn't want to make myself sick over it!

WoW! My mom has been doing Atkins for 2 years. She lost a total of 90lbs. But that took a long time. How in the world did he lose 30lbs in 3 weeks? That is alot of weight to lose that fast. Thats 10 pounds a week!! Maybe he wasnt eating much? I hope he gets well soon!

UGH i hate that atkins diet, sorry for anyone on it but i am against it. I know ppl who fainted while they were doing it, and one person who also was rushed to the hospital that i know well. Was he working out alot while doing the Atkins. To work out alot and do atkins at the same time is hard, you need those carbs unfortunately for energy and to be burning that much energy without them then that can cause you to faint. Thats what happened to my friend who was rushed to the hospital

So sorry that happened, that is crazy. Hope he is doing well

Thanks for the well wishes girls. I just spoke with the bride, and groomie is home resting. He just has to pass the kidney stones now.

He was indeed, working out excessively and eating really fatty meats. It was too much for his body...and he's a big , strong guy! Doctors said he was on his way to kidney failure.

I would hate for anyone to go through this...the most imporant thing, is to exchange those vows and make it to our weddings- healthy!!!

awww thats sad, he was probably busting his a** really trying to work at it and in his head he probably thought he was doing well by following a diet plan and working out. Normally that would be great but yeah i dont trust a diet where the person who came up with it died at a young age from a heart attack, you know something is wrong right there and also a diet where you can eat bacon but no apples you shouldnt cut out anything, not even fat from a diet, everything serves a purpose and our body needs it. When i started eating very healthy i had cut out alot of red meat, i was getting dizzy all the time and not feeling well, i found out it was an iron deficiency. I was eating very healthy and making sure to have lots of protein, veggies, fruits, dairy and thought i was doing well but this is what happens.

Glad to hear he is doing better.

Hey..I haven't read any updates, but since you are on I'm assuming you quit that horrible job????

thats terrible...

not to mention, quick weight loss slows down your metabolism to the point where it is super easy for you to gain everything back and maybe more

OMG! That is horrible! I feel so bad for them.

Wow, I really hope he pulls through
