SP vs. Atkins - question
Hello,
I have been on SP for 5 weeks now, very seriously and absolutely no cheating. I have only lost 7 pounds. I am very discouraged. But, as I am reading SP II, I begin to understand just how sick I am and how much recovery I have yet to do. I have not read Atkins, but I do notice from visiting all the forums, the Atkins people seem to be almost totally focused on losing weight. I don't think I have come across any posts discussing insulin or the health issues that are so prominent in the SP program. I am feeling very discouraged because i am not responding as I had hoped I would. My hubby started the same time I did, has even cheated some, and has experienced a veritible explosion of well being, as if he has lost 10 years in age. I realize that he was healthy to begin with as I was not, but today I was too weak to get to church. I hardly leave the house I am so tired and depressed. I have manipulated my carbs as she says, but I am just not getting anywhere as I had hoped I would. Has anyone here doing Schwarzbein experienced a return of vitality, and normal health? And also lost a good amount of weight? I notice that the Atkins people seem to be losing huge amounts of weight, but I don't see much talk about insulin and health.
