ANGEL60067 Posts: 38 Joined: 2004/02/13	2005/01/05, 02:15 PM I have done accupunture, where they put these little things that look like bandages in your ear and of course they give you a very strict diet that you must follow. I first did it for 4 months and lost 20lbs. I am now doing it again and hopefully will reach my goal size of 120 lbs.

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2005/01/05, 03:33 PM My point is do not make a point if you do not have evidence to back it up. Atkins gets a bad wrap because people do not take the time to read about it thoroughly. A bodybuilderes diet is basically the atkins diet. -------------- I am from Philadelphia, for all the people who keep posting the infamous where are you from thread.
	2005/01/05, 03:53 PM That's a fact. if one bothers to read the whole Atkins book they will find that adding clean carbs is necessary after the induction period. The book also suggests additional carbs if weight training is involved. -------------- Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder where have I gone wrong?

lillienrose Posts: 23 Joined: 2005/01/02	2005/01/05, 09:35 PM My dad was on Atkins and lost 60 pounds and he used to be tired and shakey all the time, and after he went on Atkins it stopped, but when he went off he got the tiredness and shakiness again. For two weeks its just eliminating carbs, after two weeks you add on HEALTHY carbs. You just have to know how to go on Atkins right..... -------------- ~Mindy Worlds Unanswered questions- Whats another word for thesaurus? Why do they call the small candy bars fun sizes?

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2005/01/06, 11:50 AM exactly. In my mom's case, she stayed on the induction period (like 20 carbs a day) for the entire 7 months, because she didn't lose anything in the first 2 weeks. She also took it as her "ok" to eat fatty foods, like as much heavy cream, sasauge, bacon, ice cream, and pretty much all the things we know are bad for us on that side of the spectrum.

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2005/01/06, 04:13 PM The fact of the matter is everything does not work for everybody.

Kade Posts: 12 Joined: 2005/04/14	2005/04/23, 07:26 PM Hey Fairygirl and Raphael, have you guys ever thought of the "South Beach Diet"? I know alot of people, including myself, that have lost and kept numerous pounds off with it!:big_smile: The only problem is that you have to make sure you don't go to low carb if you're a teen because, in my case, it affected my ability to think. :( -------------- Opinions are guesses based on facts, but they aren\'t facts...:) Kade
ksmith2474 Posts: 166 Joined: 2005/06/12	2005/06/12, 11:04 AM Atkins works and it works well with very low risks actually. the only problem with atkins is if you are going to do it, you have to make a lifetime commitment to stay on a "lower carb" diet for the rest of your life. it's a misconception that people have....ok i can do this lose the weight and then go back to the way i ate before. it doesn't work like that. read the book. read about south beach too. i have chosen atkins because in the end it is the easier one for me. i did it a few years ago, lost all the weight i needed to and kept it off. then i started to "cheat" here and there. well a year after i started "cheating" i have gained most of it back. It really is a lifestyle change...not a diet.
APCullip Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/08/03	2005/08/10, 07:48 AM A lot of people have really great results on the South Beach Diet, Atkins, etc...every body is different so i believe it's important to find what works for you. I wanted to lose 45 pounds and have done it by just adding in fruits, veggies, lean meats, etc and cutting the junk out of my diet...it's just important to stay healthy, IMO.
arondaballer Posts: 1,054 Joined: 2003/06/14	2005/08/13, 10:58 AM The Atkins diet may be similar to a bodybuilders diet in the last few weeks, but from what all I've heard and what I remember from BB1fit and others it's only for a certain amount of weeks... and they take all kinds of supplements while they do it. It's in some thread in here I'll look for it. I'm not bashing the Atkins either, though I do not think it is ideal, but that's only my opinion. I like to think that you can go on diets through certain periods and you'll have great results, but I think the most important things the average person can do are permanent lifestyle health changes because the simple decisions you make every day are so important. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

hannahcherry Posts: 9 Joined: 2005/10/24	2005/10/24, 02:19 PM hiya well i think weight watchers is the best diiet as i know lots of people who do it and hve lost all the weight they wanted.It tells u all the things u need to know on the web site jst look up weight watchers and it will also tell u wher a meeting is.There are meetings everyswhere ud be surprized it tells u the nearest 1 to u if u wnt 2 go it well good luck
tcosta Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/11/15	2006/01/04, 01:41 PM I would recommend Weight Watchers. It's much easier to stick to than Atkins and you can eat a little bit of anything you want. I've lost about 60 pounds on it and my husband has lost close to 70! It was a miracle because before Weight Watchers, he was on a strickly Burger King/McDonalds diet. It's still amusing to watch him order a grilled salmon with vegetables at a restaurant! You can go to the meetings, but if you already have a support group, you can do it online. Good Luck!

	2006/06/28, 08:29 AM Eat better.....first and formost....the people in last 2 posts probably have a hard time with this....check out or not to eat....avoid the obvious junk foods(sodas, juices, chips, fried foods, chocolate/candy, ice cream, etc...u get the idea)....eat small meals many times a day....Nutrition is where u'll lose the most weight... Get more Active.....walk everyday...jog/run if u can....try to cover more distance little by little or same distance in less time....play sports......you should try to get 1 hour of physical activity daily...this with a help of a good diet will help you lose more weight Finally and as important....start lifting weights....do big whole body exercises.....squats, deadlifts, pull ups, military presses, bench presses, etc.....start light and lift progressively heavier...

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2007/01/27, 10:01 AM Just glancing at his weight loss info - a 500 calorie deifcit coming from your diet is probably too much for most people, you could maybe do a 300 cal deficit with exercise and a 200 calorie deficit from calories and not go into starvation mode, but 500 from diet alone is going to cause some resistance to fat loss, IMO. ============ Quoting from jsantiago20: do you want the trut about Diet... go to www.intense-workout.com and know the truth about diets ============= -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.
