About three decades back, I tried the Atkins for losing weight. The Atkins Diet is a really low-carb, higher regimen. I did lose weight- nearly 60 lbs. I didn’t feel hungry- in actuality, my entire body completely lost any desire for meals, including “mouth desire” and “the munchies” from indulging in a different bad habit of mine, and that I gave up last year.

Additionally, the acid reflux which was plaguing me for a couple of years was gone after only a couple weeks of following the diet. I followed the diet to the letter, not cheating, going through the two week”induction” period, of very low carbohydrate intake (nearly NO carb intake, really), and tested my urine with the keto sticks each morning, first things, to be certain I was keeping ketosis. I got both the simple book about the diet and the Atkins Cookbook, and learned how to make some delicious food.

I also used the Atkins Shake mixes and canned shakes, for when I had been at work in the morning, and had to gulp down a quick . The wonderful thing was that the weight came off where I had off it the most- in my and abdomen. Many experts say that people who “carry” their extra weight in the belly are more prone to than individuals that are equally obese, but with an even distribution of extra poundage within the body. I was wearing clothes I had not worn in a couple of years. I had been on this”amazing diet”, as my disapproving physician called it, for approximately five months. I looked great and did not feel hungry.

Acı

Beni devam etmekten alıkoyan şey ağrı oldu - böbreklerimde bir gün aniden başlayan keskin, yoğun ağrı. Böbrek yetmezliğinin bu diyeti uygulamanın bir tehlikesi olduğunu keşfettim. Diyeti bıraktım ve aldığım kilolar büyük bir şiddetle geri geldi - muhtemelen verdiğim kiloları geri aldım. Çoklu diyet almama rağmen and a lot of different supplements daily, I became deficient in certain phytonutrients, such as Vitamin C.

Son birkaç aydır diyeti uyguluyordum, bağışıklık sistemim yoktu ve kolayca soğuk algınlığına yakalanıyordum. Ayrıca sol bacağımda küçük bir şişlik var - gut mu yoksa diyetten kaynaklanan başka bir şey mi, anlamıyorum. Ama asıl önemli olan böbreklerimdeki aşırı ağrıydı, bu da beni anında durmaya itti. Hala benim için doğru olan diyet programını bulmaya çalışıyorum.

Son söz

Over time, I’ve counted calories, done Weight Watchers ( 3 times), just plain went hungry, and still have not found a permanent solution. I believe restricting was the ideal path for me, but not as badly or not for so long a time period. Dottye is a Realtor in Central Florida, and a wife, mother and grandma.
