How much weight can I lose in the induction? DYING to lose 15 lbs.I'm exercising but want 15 gone ! HELP !
Answer:
Works for a while, but you get tired of it, it is actually a good starting diet, but you wouldnt be able to do it for a very long time, the longest I have heard it works is like for 8 months. So, you will then find an alternative or a healthier lifestyle. It is one of the easiest to do tho, but i would certainly try to get off the hook from it after six months and change strategiesBone Chance!
No but i know a few who have done it dont do that south beach diet or like that water crap do jenny craig that is affordable my mom and dad did it and in just a few months they look awsome trust me.
The Atkins diet has been tried by several people I know, with uniform results: you lose weight, but cannot keep it off: one becomes desperate for carbs after a while.
,Atkins does work at first. the pounds fell off delightfully, BUT it is not really a good diet as it is unhealthy and after about 14pounds you seem to come to a standstill, but when you turn to eating carbs again even though you will be cautious, the pounds pile back on. I truly don't recommend it.
Not tried.Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
I have done the Atkins diet, and it is an easy diet for me to stay on, more so than others I have tried. There are no expensive foods to buy or special meals to fix. But it is not for everyone. I have two friends who have tried it - one lost weight on it, and the other quit after a few days because she said she started feeling dizzy while on the diet. I personally was able to lose weight on the diet, an average of 2-4 pounds per week. However, you will hit that period after being on the diet for awhile where you will not lose weight for a couple of weeks. It has to do with your metabolism adjusting to what your body is going through. However, if you can stay on the diet and make it through that phase, you will eventually start losing weight again. You do have to cut carbs while on the diet; the trick is to not cut out too many carbs - if you do, not only will you begin to feel like crap (tired, lack of energy), you will probably end up going off the diet. Also, once you have lost your desired amount of weight, you will have to follow the Atkins maintenance plan - otherwise you will immediately begin to gain back the weight you have lost. My best advice to you is to just try it for yourself and see if it works for you.
I think that almost everyone here has tried the Atkins diet at one time or another. It does work in the beginning but then the weight comes back (and that is why you'll get so many knowing about the Atkins diet).Why not do a more healthful approach and look more into The South Beach Diet or better yet The Best Life Diet.The Best Life Diet by Bob Greene is the diet that Oprah has been on and has help her stabilize her weight. It's more about making better choices than a very strict diet, yet it does have phases with the first phase being a nice weight loss phase.The one thing with the Best Life Diet is that since you have actually been on a diet with real food (not just fat or protein) but a healthy selection of food you can live on this diet forever. Consumer reports just listed it as the best diet book that is out now.To give you an example of the diet here are just a few of the choices that you make:
When you are having bread with a meal don't choose plain white bread have one that is labeled 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain. It is higher in fiber and it doesn't spike your blood sugar like white flour does. It also keep you fuller longer. They also make pita's, flatouts and pasta with 100% whole grain so you have tons of choices for sandwiches, toast and dinners. Just making this one good choice can make a difference of a few pounds in a month.Now add in a few other tips like substituting non-fat dairy products for full fat and the weight loss keeps on coming, yet you are always satisfied.If you mix in some of the exercise that you are doing and you should see results fairly quickly yet you will not feel deprived and you won't worry about the weight creeping up on your again.
I've been doing it for two years now and lost 60 lbs so far.It is not meant to be a quick weight loss diet, it is intended to be a way of life. So yes, if you lose the weight and then quit you will gain it all back... just like every other diet.With only 15 lbs to lose, it likely won't come off very fast. And the loss will slow down the closer you get to your ideal weight.
