Hey, I have 2 friends who in the past 2
months have lost over 30 pounds. Both of
them did so by going on a low glycemic
diet. They started with the Usana Reset
which just gets all the levels of your
body and appetite back on an even playing
field, and then from there they've just
both been eating a low glycemic diet.
Really though, it's not a diet. They don't
feel hungry all the time because it's not
a traditional diet, they're just eating in
a way that doesn't spike their blood sugar
which is what causes a person to crave
food all the time. Anyways... I don't know
if this helps. If you have questions let
me know.

Caffeine within two hours of a meal will
inhibit weight loss or hidden carbs.
Probably something that you are eating has
some hidden carbs

you are eating something wrong I think.
This diet can not fail. Write down
everything and I mean everything you eat
and PM it to me to see if I can find
something wrong.

Try exerciseing, eating healthy. Our CNS
relys on carbs, if the atkins diet is
limiting your carbs, then your CNS (brain)
is not fully functioning. That is what I
think is wrong. Diets never work, once
your done, you gain the weight right back.
Exercise, eat right. Make a life-style
change.

Hello Posted: 07-10-08 14:57pm
Atkins does work. Yes, your body needs
carbs...but good carbs. In the beginning,
on induction, you eat 20g net carbs. Then
when you have lost 45% of your goal
weight, you up that 5grams per week. It is
a diet that works. Your body does not need
all of the extra carbs when you are
overweight. People only knock this diet
because they don't understand it. Go over
every single thing that you eat and drink
and figure out exactly how many carbs you
are eating. Make sure that 15g of them are
from veggies. Make sure you are drinking
64 oz of water as well.
"diets never work, once your done, you
gain the weight right back" well, Atkins
is a lifestyle change, not a diet, so you
won't gain any weight back if you follow
it the way you are supposed to.
