Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Sandy, Welcome to the list!! Stacking is a mixture of drugs that help weight loss that a few list members are trying. Lurking is someone who is a member but doesn't post, just reads. Your going to be a great addition to the list!! Good luck!!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Hi, I'm Carol and am looking forward to starting and being part of this way of life. I have been very skeptical of starting Atkins as a past WW member and being brainwashed about the dangers of a high fat diets. Today is my first day and want to loose 50 pounds by tomorrow....OK...as long as it takes. As I go along, I am sure, I will have many questions, right now, I will follow Atkins' book.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Hello all. Thank you for the welcome. I am a 28 year old single/divorced mother of one daughter. I am about 50 pounds over what I would like to weigh. Anyway, I've been trying to do this diet ever since I heard about it 4 months ago. Though it does seem to have many names (grapefruit diet, heart diet, etc.) I think that it is all the same high protein/low carb diet. It seemed at the time that it was the perfect diet for me because I would still be able to eat good tasting foods even though I wasn't much of a meat eater. The first two weeks of the diet, I stuck to it faithfully and lost about 14 pounds but then those carbs would call me in the middle of every night and I gained about 10 back. I've been dieting on and off for the past couple months and really have just been losing and gaining back the same weight. I decided that this time I really wanted to lose the weight and not just for numbers sake but I really desire to feel healthy and energetic again. I think joining this group will serve as an encourager to keep focused on my goal. I hope I am not considered a lurker because I participate as much as time allows. Similarly to many of you I lead a very busy life, but I am excited to find this group and look forward to participating in discussions with you all. Wende PS - thanks for the tip about Pork Rinds! I never even thought about those! Yea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Wende, Welcome to the group. There are a lot of diets out there and you have found the right one, I am not sure what the grapefriut diet is but on Atkins it is not allowed. also if you have not already done it, buy the book, any low carb book that you want to follow, The majority of us do Atkins and some do Protien Power. I think any low carb diet is good as long as you follow the instructions. You have joined a great list! at the end of my signature is a link to my web site that has lots of links to help you on your way. Good Luck!!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Hi Penny, Thanks for the words of encouragement. I guess I'm a little impatient for some loss. I do notice I'm a little lightheaded. Does anyone else have that problem? Added a little carb in the form of grapefruit juice and seems I felt better. Maybe I can't cut my carbs that low all at once. Any comments? Martha Shadcat708@... wrote: > From: Shadcat708@... > > Martha, > > Welocme to the list!!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 . Welcome to the list. I am not sure if they are right about ketosis!! I am re reading the book tonight pages 57-63.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Hey, I'm . I started the Atkins diet almost a week ago (triggered by watching Oprah about Carbohydrate addicts). I have appx. 20 pounds or so to lose. I don't own a scale, so I'm just guessing. So far, the diet is going great. I'm pretty sure I have lost some weight already. I woke up feeling really sick one day, but I think it was because I was barely eating any carbs. Anyway, I'm doing really well and drinking a lot of water. I've been getting a lot of compliments lately, and I feel great. I'm still really young, and I really think this will work in the long run; I think it's something I can live with. Did anyone watch Oprah? They said that ketosis was bad for you, but I thought it was supposed to be the state of using up stored fat, or something along those lines. Sorry about the long email.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Hi anna, If ketosis is burning fat, How do you lose fat without it showing in the urine? It doesn't make sense to me. Except they came across like preachers, wanting followers. Sometimes there are more than one way to do something. Also they are getting rich off of their WOe. It has to be different to have a patent. What else could they come up with .? Suzannes' ,food combines....sugarbusters eliminates starch and sugar, and ATkins is high protien. Cad is a combination of all of these. Part food combine and part eat what you want, in limited amounts. Anyone who eats a lot of sugar will initially lose on all these programs. The trick is to lose all of the weight to goal and keep it off. Not that first chunk that comes from the elimination of starch and sugar. In my opinion anyway....even low fat and low calorie get results initially....It's the lifelong part that we are looking for the proper way to stay lean and trim...Right?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Hi Martha, this is iris. i too am a diabetic and i can tell you that if you lose the carbs, your blood sugar will go down. it may take a few months so continue to check you sugar levels before you take your medicine. when your blood sugar goes down, so will your cholesterol, your triglicerides, your blood pressure. if you stay on a low carb diet be sure to tell your physician so they can adjust or take you off your medicine. iris Re: Welcome to Atkins-A-WayOfLife (AT) onelist (DOT) com > > >Hi!, My name is Martha and I just started the diet on the 6th and have seen no results so far.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 if you stay away from certain carbohydrates you should no longer crave them. it make take from 3 days to a week.
