I've lost 8 pounds since last Wednesday

I found the 8 pounds that sly lost

 

I ate a whole baked chicken for lunch. I didnt use any utensils. I felt like a Viking

 

I eat hardly any carbs during the week. Eat what I want on the weekends. Lost 10 lbs the last 2 weeks

 

cool...here's a sight with a few message boards I frequented while I was on it. www.atkinsfriends.com

i don't know if you saw 20/20 (or dateline - whichever one Barbar Walters is on) a couple of weeks ago. They did an indepth on the atkins/low carb diets and concluded that they were in fact healthy. as a matter of fact, more research has actually been done on atkins/low card then what has been done for the government food pyramid that says we are supposed to be eating a lot of carbs and little fat...turns out that pyramid was put together by a bunch of lawyers in their early 30's in the early 1970's that didn't know squat about nutrition...some senator latched on to it and pushed it....not even MD's that push the pyramid know how it was derived.

 

its very simple...your body burns carbs before it burns fat. If your body does not have the carbs to burn then it will burn off fat.









amazing huh?

 

Sly - what's your 'ideal weight'?

Your frame makes it seem like you shouldn't lose a whole lot. 40 lbs seems like a ton.

And - when I saw you Saturday - I did think to myself that you appeared to have lost some weight.

Isn't beer a carbohydrate?

 

Weight Watchers at our house. We follow the plan without paying them anything. She joined originally, but I have been mooching off what she learned. I used to be skinny runt so losing weight is no big deal. I am trying to help her though.

 

atkins is free, there are no special meals yopu have to buy or anything. you know if the whole board went on an atkins diet maybe we could do a commercial

 

I've lost 5 since last Tuesday. We're in a contest at work and whoever loses the highest percentage of weight by September 27th wins $550.00. Had to put in 50 bucks. Even if I don't win the money it will be worth it just to lose the weight. Not on any special diet, just watching carbs and staying off the soft drinks and fried stuff.

Oh, and doing extra cardio in the workouts and cutting back on the weight lifting, just doing more reps with lighter weight.
