The purpose of a low carb diet is so that your body stops feeling hungry and burns the fat in your body. The lack of carbs help my blood sugars so that I am not feeling hungry all the time. High carbs diets lead to insulin spikes. It is working on that level. I don't have hunger cravings and I am not tired 24-7. I actually…

I hear ya and posted something similar as well! I am also on a LC plan, per a medical expert that I saw at a hospital. There are days when I am done logging my food and I barely ate 1,200 calories. So, I will often grab some peanut butter and celery and have a snack. I agree with doing away with the bar at lunch. Try a…

A lot of the fat I do get is from eggs and cheese. All the meat I eat is lean. Added - I also eat almonds every day - exactly 28 (1 oz) of them. Ha ha! And, don't I need the fat if I am eating low carb? My 63% of fat yesterday still only gave me 1,287 calories for the day.

Perhaps I can weigh my pieces of chicken breast, but my diet is similar to Atkins, so all the…

Not exercising yet. I walk casually and am active b/c I have two kids. But I am not doing anything high impact. I don't weigh everything but the food I eat is high protein, low fat. I eat mostly salad, chicken, protein shakes, and eggs. Sometimes a piece of turkey bacon or sausage. If it is all water weight, then am I…

I just completed week 1 of Atkins and am down 6 lbs. Getting through the first 3-4 days was the hardest. I have a friend who did Atkins and lost 58 lbs. in her first 3 months. She's down to goal weight now and is my motivator.

Hi. I've been doing a lot of research and reading about Adipex and would like to talk to a doctor about it. Have you gotten the script from your general family doctor or did you have to see a specialist? Who should I talk to about this drug? Thanks.
