2 months in and I've lost 20 pounds total so far, with -1% bodyfat in the last 4 weeks alone....when nothing, nothing else has worked in a long time. Twenty pounds in 8 weeks? With exercise? How many carbs a day are you eating? I lost 42 pounds in 6 weeks by doing nothing more then 30 push ups a day and spending half the weekends eating whatever I wanted. Although I've heard blood type has a LOT to do with the diet and the success you have. |

Be careful. I did itn for a year and lost 100 lbs. Really screwed myself up. Your body needs carbs. Do it for awhile then get back into carbs. Veggies. good luck For some reason I thought the maximum time period to do this diet was six months at a time. I know you have to be careful and make sure to take some very good vitamins while on it. Also, after the first 2 weeks it's not a bad thing to have a day in which you eat whatever you want. |

Although I've heard blood type has a LOT to do with the diet and the success you have. For the first month I was taking in about 15 grams of carbs a day; 30 in the second month, but I lost more weight in the second month. My problem: a few years ago I lost 117 pounds by just cutting back and exercising progressivly more, but eventually all weight loss stopped, even though I was working out two hours a day, six days a week; I feel I have about 50 more pounds I should lose. I've thried all levels of caloric intake from 1600 to 3400 calories a day, but still my weight refused to budge....for over a three year period, no weight loss, despite working out six days a week. |

Ok, answers one question. Next question, how much do you ACTUALLY eat during the day? A normal day for myself would be an egg/cheese/ham omelet for breakfast, a big salad for lunch(with ranch dressing, cheese and ham/turkey) and for dinner a ribeye and fried zucchini and squash. This is not a diet count carbs AND calories. |

Is it just a baked breast? I'm getting really sick of them |

lots of water, especially if you exercise and on atkins, both require lots of water.
its tough to not have carbs coming in while you exercise though, I did the same thing, atkins is nice though because you don't take any starches in anyway, so it makes it easier to lose weight with exercise. you loose a lot of weight fast though. Especially useful if you never gain weight. cheat days don't work with atkins in my experience, it takes a few days to get back in the swing of it. if I was making a bit more money and could afford the diet, I'd do it in 25-30 pound bursts, or twice a year. I've kept the weight off when I did it last year and it worked pretty well edit: HUGE part of it is learn to cut your portions down to more sensible levels, if you can do that during atkins then eventually transition out of it but keep the smaller portions, that alone would help a ton |
| Month two for me, all I really gave up was my beloved MtDew as I didn't eat much in the way of carbs anyway, 35 pounds gone. I'm 6'4" and was 240, down to 205 and would love to loose another 15. I'm curious to see how much weight I'll have to wear for my dive trip to the big island in two weeks ( needed 8lbs with a 3 full suit and one alm80 before ). |

Although I've heard blood type has a LOT to do with the diet and the success you have. 41 lbs in 7 weeks here. Modified Atikins diet, Only exercise I do is walking and my Glider machine (which everyone tells me doesnt do shit). I have a thread in the self defense and fitness section. Unlike most, I need to lose at least 100 more lbs. |

I put a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on top of the chicken, to add Fat content....and spicy spicy goodness! |
