I just ate a whole turkey

[pr0]

This atkins diet rocks, i just ate a whole fucking turkey...& my doctor assures me i'll lose weight no matter what,...i can eat all the fucking meat i want.

I've been on it for like 3 days now, i can't take a decent shit anymore, but fuck...if i can lose weight eating meat im there!

Anyone else try this shit?

I'm not sure of all the "Atkins Diet" rules (other than no carbs at all)

So if you know any tips, or any idea's for snacks i'd sure appreciate it

it does work.

I lived off of bacon double cheeseburgers (without the bread) for amonth and lost a lot of weight.

I stopped it cuz I was always backed up, and you can't drink alcohol on it. rought

My understanding is that even a moderate amount of time with the body forced into ketosis can have very bad lasting effects. I also hear that, although it may kill or cripple you in the long run, it kicks all kinds of ass for immediate weight loss.

YOu really should read the book or cunsult a doctor.

That diet specifically states to NOT do it unless you check your health first bro.

Make sure you are safe.

Trust me.

Dont just stop eating carbs, read the book.

You will do damage to yourself.

Good luck though, I have friends who dropped 40 + lbs on that.

Stick to it, but read the book.

;)

I'm on a similar diet, I don't order side dishes anymore, and only eat the main "meat" course of the meal, and only eat until I'm satisfied. I stop before I get "full".

I've also been eating green vegetables, and fruit. I have also been drinking lots of water.

I've lost like 15lbs in the past 2 weeks. I was at 180lbs wearing just my boxers, now I'm down to 165lbs fully clothed.

So, yeah, it works great. Just try to stay away from "grain" products, and you'll be fine.

Pro...my Mom is on that diet and lost a bunch.

My cousin was a big ol boy. Built like a fuckin Ox and he went on it..
He's lost like a 100 pounds in 6 months since being on it.

Only thing he eats is meat.

Ketosis needs to be understood first.

I cut refined sugar out of my diet 3 years ago.

Stop drinking soda - replace with water. Youll lose 10 just from that. I know I did.

My problem was when I quit smoking cigs I gained a few pounds. Had to get rid of that though.

Best move ever.

[asuna]

I'm the exact opposite.. i need to gain fucking weight... a good 20pounds

My Dad has diabetes, and has to do insulin shots... his arms and legs are all scarred up, from wounds that won't heal. It's some nasty stuff. Eventually, amputation may be needed if gangreen (spelling) sets in. All because of too much sugar in his blood.

Hypoglycemia is the beginnings of diabetes, if it goes untreated, and you don't slow down your sugar intake, you will most likely get diabetes.

Your pancreas produces your body's insulin based on your sugar intake. If you quit sugar "cold-turkey" you could do some major damage. I would highly recommend "slowing down" your sugar intake for a while, and ween yourself off of it if you really want to stop.

Those "withdrawls" you are experiencing are your body's "warning sign" that it needs the sugar. I tried to quit sugar "cold-turkey" a few years ago, and ended up in the hospital emergency room. I had pains in my pancreas region, and ended up blacking out, not breathing, with my roommate smacking the shit out of me to wake up... I was out for like 10 minutes... I couldn't see with my eyes open, I couldn't hear, and the next thing I knew I was being revived by an EMT with an oxygen mask, and a light shining in my eyes.

Very scary shit. Just be careful with radically changing your diet. In any case, I would recommend slowly modifying it until you get to where you want to be. Sort of like "retraining" your body for a new diet.

Anyhow, I don't want to write a novel here (already have), but, just wanted to look out for you, and share some of what I've expierenced.

[Fletch XXX]

As I said. (Also like Voodoo story)

Read the book.

People try these diets and have no clue the chemical changes in their bodies are the reason you lose weight, but essentially what you are doing is changing your body from a sugar burning unit to a carb burning unit - its a process that has to take time. Ketosis.

The doctors who wrote the 'Sugar Busters' diet used to speak at my college. I learned a lot from them regarding metabolism - sugars and digestion.

[CDSmith]

How about my patented "eat healthy and eat lots" diet?

lean meat -- lots.
fresh lightly cooked veggies -- tons
fruit and fruit juices -- huge amounts
whole grain breads and cereals - voracious portions

and cup after cup of wonderful lifegiving coffeee.



After all that, if you have room, pretty much anything goes, as long as you walk or do some physical activity at least 3 - 4 times a weak. More is better.





.... okay maybe it's not patented. I lied.

[pr0]

ok well i just went down & cooked up an eggo waffle with some sryup...i'll start over this week....but this time i'm going to actually consult my doctor about the best diet for me.

All you fuckers talking about crazy shit scared me out of the diet

I wish it were that easy. For the last month or so, I've been slacking off but for pretty much the last year I have managed 0 weight loss no matter what I do. I have drastically improved my diet in many ways, I eat less than I ever did before in my life and I eat better stuff. I avoid things I used to love and shovel a lot more salad in my mouth. I've spent countless hours on the treadmill and heaving weights around and it has had no effect. Seriously, I was dedicated. In about a six month period, I was doing 45 minutes-1 hour/day on the treadmill (start out at a 3 or so, do a 5.5-6 for my fastest parts and a 3.5-3 for cooldown - I weigh 325, I would have destroyed the treadmill and my knees if I tried to run on it). In that period I don't think I ever skipped more than 2 days in a single week, and usually I skipped none. I was also doing a 3-day workout routine with weights. I literally did not lose one ounce. Literally, as in I went from 323 and 12 ounces to... 323 and 12 ounces. It was insane. My friend suggested that some of that might have been muscle replacing fat because I had been hitting the weights, but I have my doubts. First of all, the weights I was using only went up to 200 on the stack, about 55 in freeweight for one dumbell and maybe 130lbs in assorted freeweights. It was practically cardio.

When I was in my mid-to-late teens, I was about 240lbs even though I got tons of excercise. Me and my friend (who also reads this board) were constantly walking, running, wrestling, etc. I worked 5 days a week, that was at least 3 miles each way (on foot every day, except when I had a bike... usually on foot) + my jobs were all on my feet types of employment. We would regularly walk several miles to and from the mall, even further to and from the bowling alley/pool hall. We played basketball, we had mock fights, we played with swords, climbed hills to run around on train tracks, all that happy shit. I would seriously say it's no stretch to figure that I walked 30 miles/week just going to and from work, plus probably another 15 or so from our activities. That doesn't include incidentals like the energy expended in doing the actual things we were walking places to do.

Every since my early teens, I've just been bigger than most other people. In high school, it was no big deal. I was 240 but all that moving around (and all that being young) kept me pretty solid. I would say I was no more than 30lbs overweight at 240. I know that's a lot, but now that I am a little older and a little slowed down, I have more like 100 to lose. I'm not a total porker, I'm strong and I don't get out of breath climbing to my 3rd-floor apartment, but after so much failure at trying to get rid of extra weight, I can definitely see the appeal in something like the Atkins diet. After a while, you just want the weight gone even if it means a risk to your health.
