I am back..

[Fayeza]

Hi everyone,
I am back.. after almost one year! I have been very tired lately..I have hypothyroidism, and I am on medication. All blood tests were all within normal but I was still feeling very fatigued and tired. I tried everything.. multivitamines, iron supplements, massages, 8- 9 hours of sleep almost daily but I was always exausted, drained and depressed. The other day, I went to a doctor who practices traditional chinese Medicine. and she told me that my body's chi was imbalanced and I really have very low energy... And guess what was her advice to me? In order to balance my chi (energy), I have to increase my intake of meats, poultry and eggs, and cut down on Bread and rice. In other words, follow a low carb lifestyle.
I remembered how wonderful I felt when I was following Atkins and decided to return back to induction, and make Atkins nutritional approach a way of life...
I really need energy.. and I know Atkins is my only way to feel good about myself again..I am not going to weigh myself this time..I will measure my success by how energetic I feel and how my clothes fit.
Tomorrow will be my day 1. I am looking forward to a new beginning..

Welcome back! How interesting that the Chinese medicine advocated low carbing.

Best of luck .... together we can all do it .... I know I'm looking forward to restarting tomorrow after being on weight watchers (and starving) for 2 years.

I am intrigued by your name as that's what my sister always calls me "China Doll"

Re: I am back..

Hope things are going well.
Glad you found support for the programme. One of my vegetarian friends some years ago also went for a consultation with someone who practice Chinese medicine and she was told to include some meats in her diet. I think she was surprised but she did and found it helped her with her energy.
