Need Help

mariap80960 Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/05/01	2003/05/14, 01:08 AM Well I am recently trying the atkins diet and I want to know if it will help me at all? Also it is frustrating not knowing what diet to be on or what exactly should I be eatin. I work out for about an hour. 28 minutes in cardio and the rest in tonening. I really need motivation can any one help me?

However, I wouldn't recommend it long term. The plus for me was it made me realise where i was going wrong in my diet. Carbs are part of a healthy balanced diet. As for motivation everyone is different. I don't feel happy with my fitness level or my shape as it is. That's my motivation. You just got to focus on yours. All the best.

Take a read around in the Freetrainer forums and you'll see lots of great informative letters. Know what you really want and work your way to your goal. Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Stick with it for a sensible amount of time then change it up a bit so your body doesn't adapt anbecome accustomed to it. Reaaly the best approach is a well balanced plan without eliminating anything (think portion sizes and moderation) Good luck! Pat
