I have found a lot of good information from this assn and it's website. gloria lysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I watched a Discovery Health show called " A Trash Can Full of Skin " . The woman had all this skin from weight loss. She lost over 300 lbs from a diet similar to Atkins, the show stated. Hard to argue " water loss " with 300lbs, lol. Also questionable is the argument as to whether 300lbs of fat or high protein is most safe. Not endorsing a diet, just happy for this lady that she found a way to lose. She said she never thought she would lose the weight that she gained from steriods and accient in the 1990's. Great to see her succeed!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Sharon, my hubby began Atkins 1/3/04 and is down about 40lbs so far. He has about the same amount of weight as you. I read Dr. Atkins latest book from cover to cover and created a weekly menu for him, and made sure I had lots of those foods around. After the first couple of weeks he caught on. So, I would suggest you read his book as a good start. The website also has some great info. You could also contact them at the website for further help. I try to follow it, but not so closely, as I'm still breastfeeding. I can tell you that my readings have been much more stable and I feel better. Hubby hasn't excercised any yet, as he has knee problems. But, he can say his knees don't bother him nearly so much. He's becoming more active around the house because he has more energy. We just purchased a pool that we plan on having installed by the end of April and he's planning on doing water aerobics all summer to help strengthen him and help him lose more weight so that, hopefully, by fall he'll be up for more activities on his knees. HTH and you can do it! Debi > Hi Everyone-- > This past week I went to the doctor and was not too happy with the results. My A1c is 7.9 and my thyroid medication was doubled. I was also told to make an immediate appointment with the doctor (soonest I could get is Mar10). Anyway, the good news for me was that he agreed to letting me try the Atkins diet.
