hey yall wuts crackin? I recently decided, (for like the 3rd time) that I was going to do the atkins diet, and doit succesfully. Well it appears that 3 times a charm because the diet became easy to stick to after the first few days, and I've lost 3.5lbs and counting (and this ways only in one week.) Plus I think that one of the major differences from the last couple of times I tried this ways that I told my family (not just parents),friends, and people around me that I was doing this. They all supported me, and told me I was in their prayers. Its been two weeks now and I've yet to check the scales, but one thing I know 4 sure, is that I am defineatly in control of my eating now, I dont get the constant cravings for sugary sweets, and I can pass up a friends offer for fries, or candy without hesitation. A word of advice to anyone struggling with their diet: if you feel like you need a food that you cant have, think about it like this, "will it be worth the extra pounds once the taste has passed?"

Yeah so many people I know have had great success doing it, but as soon as they pretty much eat ANY carbs, the weight all came back. It is not good to just really eat protein. I was watching the news the other night, and they said the atkins diet was linked to heart disease. Also, I tried it too, and after a while, I hate to tell you, but on this plan you'll get unmotivated. I just started dieting a week and a half ago, and the first week I lost 5 pounds, and now I lost another 1 in half a week. Trust me this is much better.
