:wave: Hello, I was browsing the internet for articles on low-carb diets and I found this forum and thought that it was great so I decided to join. I may need some support along the way.
I am a 25 year old male from NC and I have never been one to have to diet but, about 7 months ago I began to get carried away with my eating and in about 4 months I gained almost 40 lbs. I was weighing 206 lbs. When I decided that it was time to slow down. I am now 199 lbs. and although it's not much, it is a start.
I want to get my wieght down to about 155-160. Actually I am not worried about the numbers on the scale, because I have begun a weight training schedule(although it's not alot right now)
I know that muscle weighs more than body fat, so I am more concerned about dropping the body fat than I am about lowering the numbers on the scale. :)
I see that many people here use the Atkins diet. I have a little diet plan that I got from a co-worker a few years ago. According to the diet it is used a hospital on patients who need to lose alot of weight fast before having surgery.
The diet includes eating 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and grapefruit for breakfast.
For lunch, eating any type of meat with a salad and grape fruit.
For dinner, eating any type of meat, a salad or any type of green vegetables and grapefruit.
Bedtime snack, a glass of tomato juice.
According to the diet, there will be no weight loss for the first 4 days and on the 5th day you will lose 5 lbs. Every 2 days after that you will lose 1 1/2 lbs. My wife and I are going to begin this diet within the next few days. Has anyone else heard of or tried this diet? Does anyone know of any concerns that I should be aware of with this diet?
If anyone else would like to have this diet I would be happy to e-mail it to you> Thanks!
