What do you know it works!

[Templar]

Hi there, I had to go on a lowered carb diet on dr's advice. So I looked up low carb diets and Atkins looked back. i decided that the Atkins model was very close to what I needed and although weight loss was not part of my agenda I figured a bit of loss could only be good. So based on that I began to read all things Atkins as you do.

I began induction and did that for a month I slowly increased some intake of carbs but very carefully and slowly. That was last year and I am still going good. I began this lifestyle diet at 55 years of age and weighing 98kgs I have now stabilized at 85kgs that's a loss of 13 kilos. I now eat a very healthy diet but low in carbs with an occasional carb splurge. I have no trouble maintaining this weight level and life is good. I still get people who do not understand this lifestyle diet shaking their collective heads at some of the things I eat that they wont touch but what the heck. My diet worked and their fad diets did not!

What other diet in the world lets you fill the house with the wonderful aroma of frying bacon just coz I feel like a snack? Ha Ha! Atkins diet is one I really recommend as a lifestyle choice. It works. It does loose weight. And the things you can eat are bloody marvelous!

Hi Templar
Well done on getting to and maintaining your goal weight by eating such delicious foods as we do on Atkins

It sounds as if you have turned into a true lifestyle lowcarber rather than being a 'dieter' which is what most of us are aiming at being too
