| ncamanda's Full Review: Atkins Diet |
I am not a doctor! So I can not dazzle you with medical knowledge, only tell you what I have learned, through my own personal experience.
I have battled weight problems my whole life. I was heavy as a small child (before I was even able to develop bad eating habits). For years I tried every fad diet that came along. Each was unsuccessful.
Last fall I was diagnosed with type II diabetes (insulin resistance). Then depression set in. At twenty-eight years old I was on medication for high blood pressure, and diabetes. I know that I can not make you understand how desperate I had become. I hated my life. I was Fat, unhealthy, had no energy, and seen no way out!
Following the advice of my step-sister, I purchased Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution. I read the book from cover to cover. I remember I cried through most of the first chapter, realizing that the problems he was addressing were problems I have had my whole life. So, by the end of the book, I decided to give it a try.
I have been following this way of eating for 5 weeks. I am happy to report I have lost 22lbs. But, more important than that, I have never felt better in my entire life. I was able to stop taking medicine for diabetes after the first two weeks. My blood sugar level has been between 80-90 since I have quit taking my medication. My blood pressure med. dose has been cut in half. I have a new outlook on life. I have been walking a mile a day (not because I have to, but because I have that much energy). My friends and family are amazed at the difference.
I realize this way of eating is hard for a lot of people to accept. There will always be skeptics. I am the first to say this diet is not for everyone. But IT IS FOR ME!
