I was on the atkins det awhile back and lost about 10 lbs before getting a
job and then getting off the diet. I'm male, 5'6" 171. I used to be 150.
It's amazing what a few months of eating McDonalds will do to you.
I'm back on Atkins now since 4 days ago. I'm going to stay on induction for
3-4 weeks. The biggest problem I've had was not having enough variety of
food. I usually just eat tunafish and burgers with no bun. Plus, water gets
boring.
So today I went shopping and got bacon, sausage, eggs, sirolin burgers,
chicken (no skin), bagged salads, plus some great dressing. I also got some
Acadia Fruit Springs flavored water, sweetened with Splenda. It tastes
great! Kicking soda was hard to do, but with this drink I know I can do it.
Plus, I am lifting weights every other day and power walking 3-4 miles every
other day. Hopefully in 4 weeks I can be down to 150 again. I'd really like
to go to 145, but we'll see. I don't know if I'll stay on Atkins after I
reach that goal, but I will stop drinking so much soda, sugar, and really
watch what I eat.
