Hi everyone. I'm new and 12 days into "Bodytrim"

Hi everyone.

I started Bodytrim 12 days ago, which is Atkins, revamped. Hi protein, low carbs, 10 000 steps a day. When I get to the fifth week, I can start introducing some resistance exercises. I lost 2.3 kgs in the first week, which ended on Wednesday night. I'm now halfway through week 2, and I weigh again on Wednesday night this week. The starting weight on my "ticker thingy" is from my measurements last week. I actually started at 97 kgs. So far, I'm going really well. I love protein foods, so this has been really easy for me so far - even the carb-detox in the first three days was easy. Yay me!

So, that's me.

Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
I don't know anything about Bodytrim, but I did do the Atkins diet years ago. It worked for a short time, but, since finding MFP, I don't think I'll ever have to try ANYTHING else, ever again! :happy:
Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works.
Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP!
Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

Hi there

Bodytrim is a fantastic weight loss system- as a nutritionist it's really healthy.

It's not like the Atkins at all-

The protein intake is actually not that high.
The basic guideline of protein intake is around .8 to 1.2g per kg of body weight.
So for example a 70kg person would have the recommendation of around 70g per day.

As the program uses protein foods serving size and not actual protein quantity and example day of say using egg as all your protein foods would fit into these guidelines.

Egg for example is around 12g per 100g of protein. so for a female having the max intake of 100g for all snacks and meals= 600g egg x 12%= 72g of protein intake for the whole day.
As you can see this fits into all healthy guideline for protein intake.

Remember you're havng unlimited amounts of vegetables througout the day and can have wholegrains int he morning if on the weight loss phase.

It's more about controlling your portion size and the amounts of different macro nutrients you are having- rather than specifically vuttingout a whole food group.
