hi: i was on atkins diet for about 8 months and other than the first 8 lbs that i lost i was stuck on a plateau for 7.75 of those months. i worked out and drank tonnes of water. early in december my blood pressure sky rocketed and the doc wanted me to add some pressure lowering foods to my diet and add cardio and drop 40 lbs before concidering drugs ...... which i appreciate.
so i switched to somersizing, walk briskly 4 days a week, work out, and the other 3 days i rebound and my pressure is coming down and my weight is now slowly dropping. not only that everyone has been saying that i have never looked better in my whole life. and actually when i look in the mirror now i see that i look good! i pretty much cut all desserts out of my life and i really don't miss them at all. i feel the best i've felt in ages. so you could say sommersizing is saving my life. i even made it through christmas, cheated a little bit and still lost weight. i'm a happy camper.
