Hi Everyone,
im new here, just arrived in fact.
I have just dropped 2 lb from my heaviest weight ever of 177lb.
I have been on and off diets for years and it is getting me less than nowhere. I tend to live on refined carbs when Im not on a diet and need to eat more and more and often to prevent headaches and i get so depressed and lazy.
i did POTATOES NOT PROZAClast year for a few months and felt much better for it but didnt lose much in the way of weight. and i never got the hang of a potato before bed.
So i then went to WW but that ony legilsed everything again and I soon went overboard and lost all control.
Anyway i could go onfor hours but i have realised at last that i need to eat alot more protein and far less carbs and NO refined ones.Ive been following Sugar Busters WOE last 5 days but wonder if its enough as i do want to lose 50lb.
I also tried CARB ADDICTS diet and that was hard to eat no carbs all day (abit too restrictive) and then )well in the older book) you could have what you wanted at the one meal and I find it too hard to have that on and off eating.
I have the old original Atkins diet book where you were not allowed any carbs but from what Ive read here it looks like you can now have 20grams for the first two weeks and that is called induction?? Then you add 5grams a week? Can you eat as much meat chicken etc as you want to satisfy as before?? that would be pretty easy to follow I reakon.Well you know what I mean , not easy to do, but easy to follow.
I found the ZONE too much to think about Guessimating is all very good if you are on top of yourself but i fingd without set guidines i wander farther and farther waway from the plan and kid myself.
So do most of you do ATKINS as it looks,Im willing to get stuck into it with your support.
I live on a farm in New Zealand with lots of animals to eat :lol
Actually i prefer protein powder shakes.
I better post this so you can read it, eh
