Atkins diet anyone?

I lost weight on Atkins - 63 pounds about 5 years ago. Since then I have gained it all back because I started eating carbs and drinking to much wine. On my doctors advice, he recommended I read a book called the Wheat Belly. I am half way through the book and it is low carb. I am eating low carb again and have lost 6 pounds in 10 days. I know it wont come off that fast always, but its a start. As a side note, my doctor said its how he eats.0

I did Atkins back in 1980 - I lost 90 lbs in a year and a half. I don't think I could do it again. Carb-free is very difficult for maintain.0

I'm down! Add me!!!! I'm starting today!:)) I've lost 112 lbs doing a low fat/ low (ish) carb diet for the past year and exercising 5 days a week. Thrilled to report, I'm now a runner!!:)) i have only THIRTY TWO POUNDS TO GO before I reach my goal weight! I'm doing the Atkins and hope to stay through all the phases. Just really missing fruit and beer, right now... (I've been tinkering with the diet the past week so I may not do as well this week)
Anyhoo... add me!0 -

I tried atkins a long time ago. Everyone needs to do what works for them. Personally I do not believe Atkins is healthy or Sustainable. It is predicated on putting your body into "Ketosis" which is an abnormal functioning condition of your body. I believe it is really hard on your Kidneys. Let me know how you make out.0

I am in the same boat. I work 12 hr shifts and I have about 8 net carbs recorded! I am not purposely going so low, but I am deployed and we only have so many options over here. Tomorrow will one full week for me and I am down 3 lbs. I can live with that. What I cant live with was the headaches so, I have added a cup of coffee to my menu and it has helped.0
