About three decades back, I tried the Atkins Diet for losing . The Atkins Diet is a really low-carb, higher protein 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 “ 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 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.

Използвах и шейковете на Аткинс и шейковете в консерва, когато сутрин бях на работа и трябваше да погълна бърза закуска. Чудесното беше, че теглото се свали там, където го бях свалила най-много - в областта на стомаха и корема. Много специалисти твърдят, че хората, които "носят" излишните си килограми в корема, са по-предразположени към диабет, отколкото хората, които са със същото затлъстяване, но с равномерно разпределение на излишните килограми в тялото. Носех дрехи, които не бях обличала от няколко години. Бях на тази "невероятна диета", както я нарече моят неодобрителен лекар, от около пет месеца. Изглеждах чудесно и не се чувствах гладен.

The pain

What stopped me from continuing was pain- sharp, intense pain in my kidneys which began suddenly one day. I discovered that kidney failure was a hazard of following this diet. I ceased, and the pounds came back with a vengeance- probably gained back that I’d lost. Despite taking a multi-vitamin and a lot of different supplements daily, I became deficient in certain , such as .

The past couple of months I had been following the diet, I had no , and caught colds easily. I also have a little lump in my left leg- if it’s a little gout or something else from the diet, I do not understand. But the significant thing was that the extreme pain in my kidneys, which induced me to stop instantly. I’m still trying to find the diet program that is right for me.

Over time, I’ve counted , done Weight Watchers ( 3 times), just plain went hungry, and still have not found a permanent solution. I believe restricting беше идеалният път за мен, но не толкова зле или не за толкова дълъг период от време. Доти е брокер на недвижими имоти в Централна Флорида, съпруга, майка и баба.
