I personally have found this diet amazing. I used to be quite "chunky" and thoguht that I was big boned. But [not bragging] since I have been on the diet I have lost a healthy amount of weight and I am no longer chunky and I don;t look big boned. It is an amazing diet and it's actually a very healthy diet. =]

Hi, thanx for the advice, I was begining to think no one did the atkins! Glad to hear you lost some weight, Did you find it difficult?

Ritax

a bit out of date this diet

Hi I thought I would try the atkins as its a bit like the cd as both you have limited carbs and with both you go into ketsosis.

Its just weird how on the cd you dont really and and loose a lot of weight, but what I read about the atkins you do too.

Well I guess at least with atkins you can eat and loose more weight.

Well I saw many friends on a Atkins diets.
After few days they reduced the quantity of food they were eating because their bodies were tired to be poisoned with that type of food! That is the real secret of this diet!

Remember a diet must be healthy.

There is no point in loosing few pounds when that will cost you quite a few years of your life and wellbeing!!!!!

Just keep on eye on the total calories and learn which food is fattening and which one is not!

Hi, thanks for your reply.

When I started the cd I found it very difficult, 1 stuck to one shake and one bar and still had my skimmed milk in my tea, after loosing 7lbs I had taken 2 days of at Easter and too my surprize put 4lbs back on ! Its made me think that just having shakes is not permanate weight loss! However this gone week I have been eating a bit of chicken every day and still lost another 5lbs. Guess Im worried now that if I go back onto food I will be the weight back on.

Do you diet at all?

Ritax

Yes I do but I pay attention to my health first!

I do not compromise on that just to lose weight. Now my weight is stable at my ideal weight (BMI 22) and I dont feel hungry at all. I just eat non-fattening food with the right pattern.

A diet is for life! Not just for a short period of time this is why we need to choose the right one. If you dont feel right with a diet it means it is a crap one.

If you go on a diet you lose weight then when you go back to the old habits you gain back the weight with interests, this is natural, this is why it is important to get a diet that you can follow for all your life every day.

You need to understand what to eat and how to eat; this is the secret to stay slim.

But in particular a diet must be healthy healthy and healthy again.

Hi,

I totaly agree with what your saying, Its the first time I have been ths over weight, 2stone, (well I have lost 12lbs now ), I find it very difficult as there are so many diet about, well I try to say to myself its not a diet!! as the word diet can make me want to eat!

Im on the cambridge, as I wanted quick weight loss as im getting married in August. However looking at the cambridge and Atkins they are both sort of similar and both hard. I have not tried the Atkins though.

ive been on cambridge and it works really well but hate it!!!! i need to eat something so have descided to give atkins a go, really hope it works cos dont want to have to go bacj to cambridge.

does anyone know how long it takes with atkins to get into ketosis??
