New here not to Adkins

[RunFatCopRun]

I am 28 and I am looking to change departments. I have to go through the PT test again and need to lose weight. I am not new to Adkins. In college I stuck to it and in 6 months went from 300 lbs to 240 lbs. I was wearing a 34 uniform pants and had a 52 in. chest (again I lift a lot of weights). I still lift, but stopped doing so much cardo. I started eating my fruits and vegetables. You know, the main stream high carb. low fat and low cal. diet. I have now ballooned up to 330 lbs "eating healthy". I have always been a big guy, but I have had it and went to my doctor. He ran some tests and guess what...HE TOLD ME I WAS CARB. SENSITIVE AND TOLD ME TO GO TO A LOW CARB DIET AGAIN!!! I know an MD telling me to go low carb did kinda of shock me, but he said it works and if done right is good for you. So again I turn to Adkins.

If had not changed my diet a few years ago I would not be in this situation. I am staying on the low carb life style for the rest of my life.

Hi and welcome back to the Atkins way of eating and way of life --

Regardless of what you did before, or what people are doing now, your body is different than anyone so it’s best not to compare - just follow the plan the way it's written. Look around and find what interests you and join in. Check the STAC Second Time Around Club - Atkins Diet for additional support.

I hope you already have the 2002 DANDR book and have read it, it is the edition we follow on this site. If not it's worth a few dollars to purchase. Get enough pure water in daily (64oz is recommended), exercise and take a non-iron multivitamin.

Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. Rules of Induction: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What are the Rules of Induction?)
