| gerteisen's Full Review: Atkins Diet |
The Atkins Diet literally saved my life. On June 16, 2000, I weighed 248.5lbs (I am 5'5") and wore a size 26. Today (May 19, 2002) I have lost 80 lbs and gone from a size 26 to a size 14. I have never been happier and never had more energy. I enjoy meals and eating out isn't difficult at all. Yesterday I went out and had Prime Rib and steamed veggies and was full all day. I have found so much support online from mailing lists, chat rooms, groups, bulletin boards, and recipe rooms. Yahoogroups.com is a great place for support. I have found many websites to help me in my low carb journey. Support is very important for any diet and even though it is all email it has helped me stay on the straight and narrow. I feel so much better about myself and would recommend this to anyone who feels like they have a food addiction....I have fought mine my entire life. I also have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and a low carbohydrate diet is recommended for this condition. I can go to any restaurant and find something I can eat on this way of life (WOE). My cholesterol was 166 last time it was checked (a few months ago)...I feel so fortunate that my physician introduced me to Atkins.
