My name is Mike.
I am a long-time follower and believer of the Atkins lifestyle. Had great success doing Atkins 5 years ago. I loved the way I ate and the way I felt. I also was in good health...my cholesterol, which was normally over 200 dropped down to 142 after about a month.
Long story short, I drifted off the diet, went back on, drifted off, went back on, basically since then. But now I am back. Whatever mental switch that has been off for the past 5 years has finally been switched back on. I am in it...in that zone, have been faithfully since the beginning of February.
I want to say hi and just say how excited I am to be back in the Atkins saddle and to be around you guys and all your useful knowledge.
I recently just turned 30 and it kinda shocked me back into action. I do not want to be overweight in my 30's. I also was recently told by my doctor that my BP is borderline high (130/90, but it runs in the family) and he wants me to be on BP meds. I refused and he gave me 3 months to see if diet and exercise will work.
Apart from that, the past few months I have felt a real spiritual and mental growth. I have been studying Buddhism, meditating and going to Yoga classes religiously. I just feel that I am starting to become the best version of myself that I can be and I feel that this way of eating in only another extension of that growth.
So, here I am...hopeful and excited and looking forward to sharing with you all.
Hope everyone is well!
