| cloudiesky's Full Review: Atkins Diet |
I would recommend this for those of us who are addicted to sugars and flours. Those of use who the low fat diet never worked. I do believe it is very healthy. How healthy can a high carbohydrate, low fat, and low calorie diet be? I have tried those so many times, well it never worked for me. Low carbohydrate does finally work for me, of course it may not work for everyone, and those that don't read the book and don't understand it, then give up, aren't giving it the full attention it deserves. You should never just jump into something, you need to know what is, and also how to tweak it for yourself. You need to remember, this is not a diet. This is a new way of eating. This is to become your lifestyle. You will have to change all of your bad habits of eating. It won't happen over night. It's going to be a long process, but in the long run, you will feel better. Your health will be restored. You will be a new person, on the inside and on the outside. I have currently been able to lose 15+ pounds in just 3 months. I have been overweight for 15 years, and just assumed I was always going to be fat. That I would never accept my body. But the Atkins way of eating has changed me, with just the 15 pound loss. I have 32 more to go and when I reach my goal, I will continue eating this way. I will add more carbohydrates back into my daily allotment, however, I will do so by adding more vegetable and fruit, NOT SUGAR AND FLOURS. Because flour and sugars are what got me fat in the first place and I will not throw away all of my hard work for the evils that made me fat.
