Thank you guys very much for all the support. with the exception of a few people that was confused on some of my posts and were rude..i feel like i have met some cool people here...
as someone who has lost over 100 pounds and kept it off for well over a decade i must say Atkins has come along way!
I am really happy that whole grain foods taste so darn good. 10 years ago they were horrid..most of them...not all...but yuck...Now whole grains are much better than the alternatives...
I havent been here long however i have made some observations:
some common mistake i think people are making:
1.) Staying in induction way too long
2.) not adding in enough carbs as you go along..yes thats right...
3.) not taking a multi vitamin
4.) not exercising
i have also identified two groups of people...
those that have an eating disorder and cant ever stray 1% from this diet , try to eat one slice of pizza and the entire pie is gone..and then you want more and more...kind of like a drug addict...
then there seems to be those that have had age catch up with them, havent exercised very much and just got into a habit of eating the wrong things at the wrong times..these people seem to need a gentle nudge in the right direction and can have more wiggle room in this diet...
that being said, it is always desirable to eat healthy and thats what we are talking about is health...
no matter why your here, i am glad you are...and im glad to be here as well.
i dont have much to lose, and to be honest will likely be at my goal in a week or two...but im not going anywhere...trust that.
