From Bianca, Age 20 - 03/10/11 - IP#: 72.151.101.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'4", Start: 239.8 lb, Today: 184.7 lb (BMI: 32), Goal: 135 lb - so its been 7 days and my weight is exactly the same....and i haven't had one carb in the past 10 days, no sweets, bread, pasta, or potatoes which happen to be my favorites lol (of course) so this atkins thing is about to get tossed out the window, i'll commit for the rest of the month but...i just expected more. it's possibly my fault though because i did little to no working out all week, two days one hour each day...so definately not progress. *jogging tomorrow for sure*
Reply from Cali, Age 25 - 03/20/11 - IP#: 65.79.248.xxx when your doing low carb you can still have between 20-40 carbs a day....you cannot starve yourself and expect to loose weight your bodies needs something to off of.
Reply from Marina, Age 23 - 03/17/11 - IP#: 174.91.64.xxx Your body NEEDS carbs! Breads, pastas, potatoes...they're all good to keep in your diet in moderation. You need the carbs to have energy to work out! I've lost 97lbs in 48 weeks and I still eat all of those things you're avoiding! I don't think following these outrageous diets are the way to go about weight loss...You need everything in your diet for a reason & need to make healthy choices that you can LIVE with on a regular basis. Good food choices are something you'll have to make your entire life, so don't feel trapped in a "diet" that keeps you from things you like. Keep at it & you'll get there in the end - good luck & take care :)
