Low Carb Diet (atkins)

Ted_Hutchinson

Because I've lost so much weight I was looking at the trousers in M&S Sale clearance today but they only had 32inch waist but as they were only a fiver I thought I may as well try them on and they fitted.

So 2 pairs of smart trousers for £10 and I can now comfortably fit into a 32inch wast. Whereas in January it was a struggle to get into 42inch. It really surprised me and left me feeling just a little pleased with myself. I'm still following Dr D's plan but with a little more red wine occasionally.

Dr Andrews found that appetite-suppressing cells are attacked by free radicals after eating and said the degeneration is more significant following meals rich in carbohydrates and sugars.

"The more carbs and sugars you eat, the more your appetite-control cells are damaged, and potentially you consume more,"

Initially it will help weight loss but in the long term it will make weight loss harder.
Fewer calories generally leads to initial weight loss BUT if you reduce your calorie intake TOO much your body goes into starvation mode an tries to protect you by lowering metabolism rate and then you will find it much harder to lose weight in the future.

So it is important to consume a reasonable number of calories.

Why not buy some V8 or similar vegetable drink and have a glass of that. when you really don't feel like eating? It would provide some calories and important vits/mins. Four 8 oz glasses per day work well.

Have a look also at what Dr Davis has to say about the health benefits of fasting.

Also have a look at what Krispin has to say about Magnesium It really does help people deal with stress.

Hello eveyone! I'm back now from Carb Fest 2008! I don't even want to think about the rubbish I ate all week in Turkey! I'll be back on the wagon tomorrow, I'll weigh myself in the morning too to see what the damage is! I don't really want to know how much I've put on but I'll have to face the scales at some point!

Glad to hear that everyone's doing well and we have new low carbers on here!
