Atkins Diet

[Veronica]

I didnt discuss it with my doc.. I probably should, but i am sick of being bigger than normal. Im gonna work out as well. I am using this as beginning phase.. Ill gradually introduce stuff back, but I will be more careful about it.

And I wont do anything unhealthy.. If my health gets worse, Ill stop. I promise! I will say that with me gaining weight, its only causing me more health problems. I gotta cap it off somehow.

You know that Dr. Atkin died of a heart attack due to cholesterol blockages right?

neither are anorexic or bulimics.
Not saying it would lead to something as unhealthy but its fair to be realistic with yourself.
I am not comfortable with the weight ive gained but before i start a risky diet I would increase the amount of exercise to a healthy doable regimen

Snopes debunked this.

He died of injuries related to a fall. He was in a coma for several weeks. His death certificate listed his medical history of having had a heart attack, but did not reference when. It was well known he'd had a blood-pressure related heart attack 7 years before his death.

I dont think its risky she just needs to be watched with her medical history is all

I take cholesterol meds now, so im not worried bout that. LOL

Ive gained 20 pounds in 6 months 35 pounds since I met my husband 2 years ago.. i want those pounds off me. I am short, so 10 pounds makes a big difference.

I would love to say goodluck...BUT I think you should talk to your doctor about it. You're not doing any good to yourself by going on a diet that's already bad for you. You and zach are also going to be trying for babies...so you want to be 100% in good health. Talk to your doctor and see what he has to say about it. There are a lot of other safe ways for you to lose weight.

Ive tried the diet to help a friend keep on it
I lost 7 pounds in a week and a half and had a huge head ache starting on the third day
I cut to many carbs to quick
It works for me but then again I dont need it.

I am short too and yes that does show up more on us than with bigger people.

With all due respect you are NUTS to start a diet without consulting the doctor about what to do.

You are looking for a quick fix so to speak. You ARE putting yourself at risk given your health issues.

I hate dieting. I never lost weight that way. But I did lose 20lbs since last April by mainly walking.

You need to be patient and realize that as you get older the weight is not going to come off as fast as you want.

Try walking. I go 4 miles a day. I used to run to burn calories. I can not do that anymore. Walking does the same it just eats up more time.

Also a little bit of cardio will increase muscle mass and help to burn.

You need to look at this long term and short term.

Good luck

Hey V - how's it going?

My room mate is thinking of doing this. He bought the book, and he's going for it.
