Is There Such a Thing As "THE GOLDEN SHOT?" and Did We Miss It?
About 3 years ago, I was introduced to the Atkins way of eating and lost 30lbs in two months. Talk about elation. I bought beautiful clothes, went out all the time, had dates galore; I was on top of the world and didn't even exercise until the third month.
I tried ignoring the "warnings" of my nutritionist and friends of the "dangers" of lowcarbing and I didn't have a support system like I do now and you know the story. I began to introduce large amounts of carbs back into my body and even though it took a year and a half to come back, it came back.
I tried coming back to Atkins in July '03, but it was not working or it started to work, but stopped and then the most surprising and most difficult to accept occurred...I WAS GAINING WEIGHT. I panicked and called my doctor and had blood tests done and my thyroid checked because I thought something was seriously wrong with me. My tests are all normal. I missed my shot and it totally gets me down everytime I think about it and that's why I decided to try and find out if there are more people who this has happened to. Since last Tuesday, I'm experimenting with the Zone. (geez, a ton of vegetables...sigh).
I would love to hear from you if you've experienced this phenomenom, decided to stay and tweaked it (lowcarb) to make it work for you and now you're a success story or a success story in progress.
Let's hear your story.
