Hi Everyone
I haven't a lot of weight to lose and have slowly gained, due to getting a sedentary job/middle age spread/ loving my bread, whatever...
I have spend over 6 months trying to shift 1lb of weight, and something made me think of Atkins. A few years ago, I had a look at this but there was a lot of bad press and I kind of dismissed it (although when my partner and I stopped eating sugar and carbs we lost weight ha ha!).
So this time I got the book again and am on chapter 6.
In the meantime, a week ago I stopped eating obvious carbs and started eating more protein. I am a cheese lover (cheese is my chocolate) and when eating 'sensibly' I lost no weight and felt really hungry most of the time! I recognise myself as type A in chapter 4 (oh how dr Atkins knows us). Anyway I hit the scales and I lost 2lbs! Believe me, this is a major result. Not only that I am loving haivng bacon, eggs, ham cheese, little chunks of chicken and lovely organic veg. So now I found you guys! And here was me thinking that Atkins had been relegated to the diets of the nineties! What a lovely surprise!
Wishing you all well on your new lifestyles!! (can't wait to start chucking out my baggy old clothes x) By the way, go myself a pedometer too to help up my walking
