I've done Atkins twice in the past and have had success with it. I lost around a total of 10lbs each time I was on it. The first time, I did the entire two week induction, but found myself so warn out and spent that I decided to stop. On top of that, my family was encouraging me to abandon the diet and to look for other ways to keep myself in shape. Because of that, I probably gained about 15lbs. Now, I am 5'3 and I weight around 124lbs. To you, this may not seem like a big number, but I was weighing in at 110lbs last summer. I'd like to get myself back down to this number. I felt more comfortable about myself when I was at that point.
The second time I tried Atkins, I fainted in the shower. I'm not entirely sure what was going on. I think my blood sugar level was way down. I was extremely hungry and I blacked out. I heard that I was probably drinking too much water for my current weight. If anyone has any insight on this please let me know. I immediately stopped doing the diet and was able to keep about 5 of the 7 lbs off that I lost.
So, here I am giving this Atkins thing another whirl. I know I'll have success as long as I make sure that I'm eating a mix of veggies and meat. My problem last time was the fact that I wasn't eat any carbs. I pretty much stuck to meat for the most part. If you knew anything about me, you'll know that I hate meat. I ate canned tuna and eggs every day. Now, I'm ready to do this thing the right way and to actually make it past the induction stage. I live on my own now and I have control over the groceries in my house. The only downfall is having a roommate. She isn't participating in Atkins or any kind of diet, but I know she completely respects my decision!
