    Best thing you've noticed about Atkins

    It's only been a couple of weeks, but my rhumatoid arthritis has all but disappeared. My energy is thru the roof too!

    But noticing that I don't hurt every morning is priceless

    Wondered what everyone else's experiences have been? Aside from the obvious weightloss

    Re: Best thing you've noticed about Atkins

    Actually, those very things. Here are the benefits I've seen:

    1) No more fatigue - that was the real killer.

    2) No more aches, especially in the morning!

    3) No more mood swings.

    4) No more heartburn.

    5) No more IBS.

    There are other smaller things, but those are the biggies! I can't believe it's taken me this long to come back to Atkins when there are all these benefits!!

            I've only been on it full throttle for a week, but I can tell you that I have already noticed a difference in the way I feel.


            1) The second day, I could only do 3 miles on my stationary bike. Yesterday, I did 10!

            2) Ah yes, the heartburn! Mine is gone too!

            3) My overall attitude is better! I'm still a bit depressed about the way I look but at least now I'm doing something about it.

              Best thing I've noticed about Atkins is simply the weight that I've lost.

                No more worrying or annoying uncertainty about what I eat after I've eaten it. I mind only my carbs when it comes to food, follow a simple fitness regime 3-4 days a week, and am done with it. No more focus on the negative.

                  To name a few:
                  My migraines and headaches have pretty much disappeared. I've probably had 10 migraines this past year an a half where as before Atkins I'd get them 1-2 times a week for 2+ days at a time.
                  My cholesterol is the lowest it's ever been.
                  No more GERD.
                  My energy is crazy and endless. (can be kinda annoying actually lol)
                  My self confidence is much higher.
                  And my hubby LOVES the new me.

                          All medical issues I once had are now history. How can anyone ever bash this way of eating? The truth is, this WOE works.

                          BTW, I eat a lot healthier on Atkins than I ever did in any point in my adulthood.

                              I'm still waiting for a few of the things others have mentioned to kick in. So far though, I have noticed I have more energy and I'm not as moody.
