Eight years ago I lost and maintained a large amount of weight while following the Atkins Nutritional Approach. I was able to get off the blood pressure medication and my blood work was awesome.
For some reason I let white starches and sugar slip back into my life and eight years later, here I am having to lose the same pounds all over again.
I have, you can imagine, tried every diet out there. After much soul searching, reading, experiences and experiments, I have concluded that the only happy, healthy way for me to lose weight is to follow the Atkins program.
So, unless you've read the book and fully understand the four phases of Atkins, please do not add negative comments. Not every diet suits every person. This one happens to suit me and I'm eager to get back on program.
Today I'm getting my blood work done so I can have a baseline to measure the improvements to my health. Also getting blood pressure taken. And checking my thyroid and ruling out diabetes. I'm cleaning out the pantry and the fridge of all starches and processed foods (not that I use those a lot).
I begin my Atkins Journey on Monday, July 5, 2010. I will share my progress with anyone who wants to know how I'm doing it, what I'm eating, how much I've lost etc....
