So I figured instead of dieting I would just workout this year to lose the 40 to 60... so I started working with my weights in April and I've gained 9 pounds so far lol. Sure it's muscle I hope, but hardly the weight loss catalyst it used to be when I was younger.
The thought of going back on a low carb diet and eating baked chicken and brocolli and all my other high protein low carb meals makes me wretch anymore. Fuckin sucks, and fuck you all who don't have to diet.  |
I hear you, i've done it and it truly sucks.. but the good news is the internet is littered with THOUSANDS of low carb options and ideas for eating. I read the bodybuilding forums a bit more lately and notice that none of those guys know how to cook worth a damn and that probably just makes the experience miserable. I love to cook so that helps. Shit i even found a low carb pizza recipe.. wasn't bad but satisfied the craving more importantly.
you really have to erase this from your memory.. this is a complete fraud.. eat 1800 calories of cup cakes every day for 2 weeks and get back to me on how your health is...

I don't agree with any type of diet that eliminates a food group or is any type of fad thing. Eat the right size portions, read what's actually in your food, and workout.

atkins published his book in 1972 originally.. 40 year fad? ;) Kristin, what you are saying is true for people who don't need to lose a lot of weight, moderation will get semi fit, semi overweight people back into form no doubt, but if you are 300 lbs it isn't going to be effective as chopping down carbs will be, and that is what we are talking about here--getting fitter faster.
