  • Going to do atkins.

    Hello everyone. Well let me get started by telling you a little about myself. I am a 31 year old man, 5' 10", 252 lbs. I started out on January 1 of this year on a diet at that time I weighed 270 lbs. I started out and quit tobacco and went on a cyclical ketogenic diet along with lifting weights. The CKD diet is a really good diet if your really active or an athlete. I did pretty good on that diet lost 18 pounds and a ton of inches, but due to how the diet is set up I just could not control myself. CKD diets are like induction on atkins all week with a 24-48 hour carb-up on the weekend. Anyway after the weekend carb-up I would spend the rest of the week losing what I had gained on the weekend anywhere from 10-15 pounds, most was water weight. I was also having a really hard time getting back into ketosis.

    Well I have continued the diet and workouts until this week. I have now switched over to Atkins and will continue my weight lifting. Lifting is my escape and stress reliever. Plus I have made some great progress in my lifting.

    Well thats about it for now, glad to be here.

    Hey zzzznumb! Welcome to the board. There are other body builders on the board, you should go check out some of the exercise threads!

    Are you familiar with the way Atkins works, and the rules of induction? It sounds like you understand ketosis and all that, so that's good!

    Come around the board often, let us know how you're doing.
