Anyone Dieting?

The Atkins Diet outperformed all other diets in a recent study.

I'm not surprised at all. I've been on the Atkins Diet for about 9 weeks now, and I've already shed about 45 lbs.

I've gotta tell you, it's easy, too. I'm not hungry, I can eat as much as I want, and I just watch the pounds fall off. I love this diet!

I also lift 3-4 times a week, so that's helping, too. But suffice to say, if you need to lose some weight, I really have to recommend it.

It only takes a couple of days to get the desire for carbohydrates completely out of your system. The hardest part was giving up a bunch of caffeinated stuff at the same time. I used to drink Monster energy drinks, and I've really curbed that back. Now, I just drink water, Crystal Light and Lipton Diet green tea. It's not tough.

I'm still not eating bread or anything... and the last time I caved was a few weeks ago, when those crunchy croutons on my salad just begged to be devoured.

Anyhow, if this helps one person here, my work is done.

My doctors tell me I am under weight for my age and height. So I will say no. But good job man. Keep it up. It has to be tough to keep on a diet with all the cheap fast food out there. Although I don't really eat in public places. More so with fast food. I do not like the idea of other people touching my food. (I have a germphobia) I do eat a lot of kit kats thoguh... hummmmmmmmm

But I LOVE bread.

But I LOVE bread.

Me too. And potatoes.

I could never do it. But I say congrats to you, WhoDey, you're doing great! I'm very seriously impressed...

[Bronco_Armada]

I like meat and milk. Thats my main diet.

[WhoDeyBengals]

But I LOVE bread.

And believe me, I look forward to the day that I reach my goal weight and I can have it again!

But for now, it's a :nono:

I could never do it. But I say congrats to you, WhoDey, you're doing great! I'm very seriously impressed...

I used to think that too! But Fred the Bunny talked me into trying it, and I'll be darned if I'm not sitting here two months later, wondering why I didn't try this a long time ago!

Thanks!

I am fat and proud. You can't do anything about it.

Well, you can, but if you're happy, then I'm happy for ya.

[His Wife]

I would have caved with the crunchy croutons myself....
in fact, I just did when I took my daughter to dinner last night.

Here's to your will power!

[Cheesy]

Well, you can, but if you're happy, then I'm happy for ya.

Thanks pal. It's not like I'm obese or nothing. I'm just tubby. My doctor says I'm healthy.

[Saddletramp]

I have a job and have to work I dont need to diet.

[Fred the Bunny]

God, this is why I hate vacations....I miss all kinds of stuff.

I have been low carb now for about 3 years.

Total weight lost so far? 107 lbs.

I'm now weight training about 5 days a week (I alternate the bulk of each session between weights & cardio).


And by the way.... Matt looks fantastic...with or without the extra pounds.
I'm very proud of ya, sweetie.
