I highly recommend the book: The Abs Diet from the writers at Men's Health magazine.

Its not a diet book. Its a manual for how to eat and how to exercise and the physiological justification for the plan they lay out.

Go to menshealth.com and search for "The Abs Diet" and have a look.

Just stay away from the criminal Atkins.

Atkins works for me. It breaks my addiction to carbs and I LOSE tons of weight. I am a carb junky. I must go cold turkey. After the induction period (2-3 weeks) I feel so much better, have so much more energy and my mental attitude is better. I'm doing the 'criminal' Atkins now and I feel goooooood!

Whatever works.

How many times have you "done Atkins"?

If the answer is more than once, then it's a bullshit plan. A proper diet/plan/regime is needed only once. Anything that you need to repeat is a "yoyo diet" and at best is pointless.

I've "done" it only once before. I didn't follow the plan the way I should have. It was my fault that it didn't lead to ultimate success as I quit caring about my food intake--a purely emotional decision.

BTW, do you consider every time you tried to eat more healthfully and blew it a "yoyo diet"-?

Force yourself to walk even though you don't like it. A walking buddy might be helpful in this area, Exercise is a big component of weight loss. If you don't have much money and feel stupid swimming, walking is the way to go. My ex-husband was almost 6'4" and usually weighed in at between 160 and 180 - his secret - he began by walking and then started jogging. He said the adrenalin high from jogging was worth the physical effort. He actually got into carb loading before major runs and kept his weight below 180 even so. Losing weight is not always a fun activity, but the results are worth it. Begin just by walking around the block and take it from there.

Good luck!

Sure, trade my heart to look good... why not? Oh, that's right, I love my family.
Some low carb is one thing, trading them for high fat is another. Another that is wrong.
And, such a drastic diet is only temporary and should never be taken on without professional help, that means a Dr., not some diet guru.

rkz--you don't HAVE to eat a pound of bacon at every meal on atkins.

Oh, yeah, and I totally don't love my family. Ya dink.

05-15-2006, 05:55 PM

I was speaking of my own reasoning... health is more important than looks. My, reasoning. Patience is more important than the risk.
Your emotional outburst is unwarranted.

Trilby · 05-15-2006, 06:01 PM

That wasn't an emotional outburst.

Hooooooooooly shit.

05-15-2006, 06:02 PM

Just your opinion of me.. a dink?

Trilby · 05-15-2006, 06:06 PM

Verbal equivalent of pushing someone gently but playfully on the shoulder. Similar to 'ya big lug'.

I resent your implying that people on Atkins don't "love" their families.

You read that into my post on your own...

Another article from same source says

Quote:

And what many scientists had feared, that low-carb diets would boost dieters' blood lipid levels, did not seem to materialise in most people.

But experts warned that the long-term health implications of diets like the Atkins diet, which can have a high fat content, were still unclear.

Trilby · 05-15-2006, 06:40 PM

I've read the literature. ALL of the literature.

I happen to believe Atkins was right, esp. for carb addicts.

Flame away, imply we don't love our families and are more vain than anything else. I know what works for me.
