and gained it all back…
For those of you out there who love Atkins diet, don’t worry. This post is not going to say anything negative about the Atkins diet itself, but rather about my ability (inability) to stick with it long term.
I started Atkins on a Wednesday, and checked my weight and waistline every wednesday like clockwork.
In the first week, I had dropped about 8 pounds, and over a 4 month period of time, I had reached pretty close to my target weight.
I thought I could be less stringent about Atkins now, and drink beer every weekend with my friends, but the cravings for beer and carbs came back HARD.
I started ‘cheating’ more and more days each week. the fat that had burned so easily away started coming back, but initially at such a slow pace I didn’t worry. I figured I could always go back to induction.
But 1 year later, I was back to where I had been before atkins. all of the pounds were back, and I was unhappy.
I really think Atkins is a great diet, but it didn’t work for me in the long term.

Quite possibly, one of the most important keys to losing weight, as well as maintaining a healthy weight, is to eat breakfast on a regular basis. It has been said for years that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this is very true, it is much more efficient than the superb weight loss formula

I am writing to let people know that I tried numerous diet software programs online and the one Ilinked to is not a simple as the author claims. Also after lurking around, I found another diet software package FREE called sparkpeople.com. it’s really incredible.
