    Re: Positive side effect of Atkins?

    My experience is a little different. I am 40 years old and I found that it hurt my left knee to do Pilates. I do it anyway and try to stretch that knee out and basically work through the pain. However, it has always held me back in that "oh, I can't do that. I have a bad knee"

    NOW, I started running and following Atkins faithfully and the pain in completely gone. Now I have pain in both knees equally. Ha Ha

    Seriously, I am not a doctor, I definitely know that for me this WOL (including Dr. Atkins mandatory exercise policy) has changed my life. I am not in "injured" old woman anymore.
    149.8/no weigh/ 119



    1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
    what the rungs mean to me:
    rung 1 - more veggies
    rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
    rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
    rung 4 - berries, melon
    rung 5 - wine -
    rung 6 - beans, hummus
    rung 7 - other fruits
    rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
    rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
    Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
    (on to pre-maintenance)
