I have lost 8 pounds in the last 17 days due to having a cold and eating different, I am doing the Dr. Atkins diet which works good for me, if I can complete this diet in one year I will be able to loose at least 75 pounds and more, I have health problems, this is my goal to loose the weight so I can get off medicine for my heart and diabetes, striving for better health....

Congrats on the loss, sorry to hear you've been sick. Hopefully, you'll be feeling tiptop soon.

Best of luck.

Though I personally don't like the Atkins diet (I gained weight on it and though hubby lost he gained it back faster than he lost it when he went back to eating some carbs) if it works for you, then that's the important thing.

Your body needs carbs, even as a diabetic. Best "diet" is just eating well - good carbs, protein, and fats. Back when I thought the Atkins diet was the answer I lost 80 lbs but then I ate a noodle and gained it all back and then some. I am a type 2 diabetic and I would bet that if you discussed this with your doctor he would tell you the same - just eat healthy, and burn more calories than you eat. I brought my A1c from 13.8 to 6.3 and have lost ~60 lbs and several inches by just living a normal, healthy life - No restrictions needed. I am now almost 'pre-diabetic' and soon I won't even be that.

Whatever you choose to do, good luck! :flowerforyou:
