Does This Diet Cause Some People to GAIN Weight?

[Guest guest]

Hi Todd & welcome!

DO NOT be a slave to the scale, please. After a year on this list, I've

finally got it thru my rather thick skull that it is inches that are

important, not weight. Weight fluctuates hourly, even by the minute. I

would suggest that you take your measurements today. Chest, waist & hip. .

.. then forget the scale, and take your measurements again in a week. You'll

be surprised. . . I promise.

If you would like, you can post your daily menu here & everyone will look at

it & see if there is anything you could do differently.

Last but not least, drink your water-------lots of water. . . . . . please

don't get discouraged. If you give this way of eating 2 weeks, you will see

results & improvement in your sense of well-being, too.

Hello List!

I am on day 3 of Atkins, and, in reality, I haven't lost at all. Im

fact, I have GAINED a smidge. All of my family is losing on it but

me - for example: my wife has aready lost 4 lbs, and my son has lost

at least 8.

Is this normal for some, or are there those for whom this diet just

doesn't work?

Please advise.

- Todd

It can work like that at first, Todd. Can you post a few of your menus to the list for us to look at. Everything you've eaten for two days...

Hi Todd,

When my husband, myself and my teenage daughter went on this diet a couple

of years ago.....it was very interesting. My husband normally looses

weight....just by cutting back.....just by not snacking in the night...etc.

On this diet...my teen lost the 15 lbs she needed so fast that it made her

sick. She had to quick the diet and kept her weight off all summer as she

was very active....chasing her pig around the yard for 4-H. I did well on

the diet.....went into ketosis....but got so sick. I finally " had a clue "

and took a pregnancy test. I was pregnant with our 5th. My Dr. told me I

probably couldn't get pregnant anymore....because of my hormone problems.

This diet makes me healthy in that way. At the same time.....my husband

could barely get into Ketosis. I don't know WHAT his problem was. Since my

daughter and I both quit the diet....he did too. Later...after my

baby.....I lost the 57 lbs. He didn't bother trying again. And NO.....he

did not cheat. He is not the cheating type. It never made sense to me

that he.....who can loose so easily in other ways....could not loose this

way. Now that I know more...I might try to change a few things for him.

But....he really didn't even eat hardly any salad. It was weird.

One thing I found very interesting later was the " blood type connection " . I

really am not into the " evolution " stuff in the Blood Type Diet....BUT....I

do agree with allot of it...especially the fact that years ago different

peoples at differently. The put people into groups having to do with blood

type. There vegetarian types....they were the peoples who ate that way.

Then you have the hunters. Well......what blew me away is that the diet

side that I being blood type O....needed meats. I had already learned that

this was for me. There were things in the diet that I didn't think I

should have....a few whole grains and some cheese. These things were

sparing I think. Anyway......I looked up my husbands type and he was

supposed to eat veggys mostly. Wouldn't you guess that he HATES veggys.

:-) After this I put him on a diet of mostly legumes, veggys, a bit of

meat, cut out sugars and he did loose weight. Are you suprised to know

that I REALLY don't like meat. This is one reason the diet is hard for me.

I'd love to hear how many of you on this list are also blood type 0

Hi ,

My hubby DID loose weight when we were basically eatting whole grain bread, lots of legumes: beans, lentils peas, with a bit of meat, salad, fruit. He really does well if he cuts the fat out.

Right now he isn't watching his weight and he is gaining. He'll get disgusted with himself (only needs to loose maybe 20) and then he'll just drop his midnight snack of cereal or p & j.

He makes me sick how he can easily loose weight! I did read in the book "Understanding The Female Fat Cell" (or something like that) that women have twice as many fat storing cells and men have twice as many fat burning. Errrrrrrrrrrrr

Todd, the first week (this time around) I didn't lose...the second I increased my water and did lose. Are you exercising (although during induction, if this is your first time, you shouldn't be just yet if you aren't used to it). Don't weigh every day...do it weekly or you will get discouraged. The scale is evil...how your clothes start getting loose is really the sign that you are losing. If you weigh every day you will get discouraged...give it two weeks and see how it goes. As Kari said, post your menu...could be you are eating hidden sugars or something.

I'm Type A.....which is like your husband. I am trying to reconcile the 2 WOE's to figure it all out......LOL I'd love to hear more of what you are feeding your dh and how he is feeling now that he is eating for his type..
