Do you remember reading about it in the book? IN OWL you gradually add back things to your diet to see what you can and cant add and still loose weight. You have to do this while you still have weight to loose though. This phase is vital to maintaining this WOL after reaching your goal.
    I didnt read the book.

    Im not an Atkins Guru like most of you all

    Everything I learned about atkins i found on the net

        Some people made their disapproval of this course of action really clear, others tried to answer the man's question - some even did both. Those that wanted to stop him actually being able to ask the question and get an answer (either good or bad) about the atkins diet, on the atkins diet bulletin board - I don't think you had the right.

        He asked the question on the main diet forum, not on the boot camp forum. The question was about the Atkin's diet. If his question irritates you then you can ignore it, but please don't try to stop him asking it.

          Everyone has to live a little, and as great as this diet is, and as much weight as everyone is gonna lose..

          At some point, you gotta just gotta be a lil crazy. The emphasis on LITTLE.

          5 days outta how many days he's been on the diet? 5 days of craziness and then back on the wagon.

          I'm with him. When I go to Mexico (gosh knows when THAT'S happenin') I'm bustin out and eating tacos, drinking Pina Coladas..everything I want. Because a Vacation is a trip away from reality and rules.

          That being said.. (everyone's probably mad as Heckola now) by then hopefully I will have learnt to WANT to eat less, so hopefully my brain will already say.. Yes body, I'll have that taco.. but not seconds. (cross fingers)

            So just to offer a different perspective on this.....if a person is doing low-carb, but they are having cheat days or not exercising, or not going up the rungs when they get close to goal, then technically they are not "doing Atkins", right? So technically, they are not cheating on the Atkins plan because they aren't actually on the Atkins plan.

            So then my only issue is that posting these kinds of things on this board could be confusing to newbies who think these people are following Atkins and getting away with stuff when, in reality, they aren't following Atkins at all.

            You know what I mean? Just a thought for those who come down hard on people who cheat on Atkins. If they aren't actually following the plan then there's no need for us (me) to get our knickers in a bunch right?
            Why would you get your knickers in a bunch of a decision that some one makes that has absolutly NO effect on you or anyone else

              Okay, but that goes both ways. I don't think announcing that you are going to cheat and then describing all the scrumpdillyicious things you are going to eat is helpful to people who are struggling to stay on plan or who aren't familiar with all the rules of the plan. Some of us are just trying to "protect the innocent" here.

              BTW, kettles of fish are permitted on the Atkins plan.

                the time has come to "locker down". We lock a thread here when it has run its course. IT is a decison reached by more then one.

                As always, our goal here is to help people on their Atkins Journey. Alot of good information has been provided in this thread and I do hope any newbies reading this will read and make a choice for the better!

                  Ok ladies and gentlemen, tempers are becoming a little fraid and this thread is now going round in circles. Everyone has had their say, and still it continues.

                  May I remind you all, that we are ADBB. Atkins Diet Bulletin Board. We offer advice and one of our mottos is "hard on idea's, soft on people". We offer advice, by the book.

                  Please can we just move on from this little episode and continue to do what we do best.

                  We have heard from both sides, informed posts from Megs (not2late) and Bren, and also a worthwhile discussion put forward by Forest, which will hopefully help newbies in the future. However, as I have already mentioned we are now just going around the same old stuff.

                  I am now locking this thread.

                  It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




                  I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!
