I'm Scott, a twenty-three year old, and I'm just about tired of this extra weight.
I've been on a moderate/low carbohydrate intake diet for the longest. I can tell you this, I have successfully not gained weight, but it stops there--no weight is lost.
Anyway,
I read Dr. Atkins' nice thick read book after purchasing it from Books-A-Million a few years ago, tried it, and lost about 7 pounds my first week (and I actually cheated a little, which I know hindered me greatly).
I've since done moderate carbs--cut out the use of white or brown sugar all together, avoided all types of bread short of Julian Bakery's, steered clear of candy that wasn't completely sugar/carb free--but I've got to get more serious.
So this is what I'm determined to do:
1) Keep reading these threads as often as possible/daily if I can, for encouragement.
2) Prepare my kitchen for Induction (despite that the mere thought of it scares me).
3) Stick with it AT LEAST for two weeks. I've got to try, and then see if my body responds well to it.
I go to the gym and have a rigorous strength/interval training workout as well as cardio, at least 3 times a week. I'm just a little afraid about the lack of energy.
