Topic: Anybody ever tried the Atkins diet? | |
---|---|
So I'm doing this diet for a couple of reasons.
Mainly to slim down and bulk up at the same time to what I used to be. (High protein no carb diet should work well for that) What I'm curious about is what people that have tried it have to say and I'm also curious about any made up recipes you might have come up with. Right now I'm just sticking with steak, eggs and lean chicken. Sometimes ham for lunch, obviously no bread or sugary things because it's a really low carb diet. So far I love it, because I'm a carnivore and I'm in PETA(people for eating tasty animals) but has anybody come up with anything you can eat with the meat so that you feel more full? |

Yes, I have tried it. It works temporarily but it's not good for long term and it's really not a very healthy diet.

i'd have to agree with the above reply, my grandmother actually tried it, followed the rules to the T and ended up worse off than when she started,

And eating all of that crap, I don't care what anyone says... can't be good for you. |

I've done that diet before. Lost alot of weight. I'm going start it again next week and hit the gym.
I ate eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Meat, cheese, Salad for dinner. LOTS AND LOTS of water. I also drank crystal light. |

OH...MAKE SURE you take vitamin suplements during this diet.

I think the main thing is hitting the gym and exercising because without that, no diet works. |

I did the diet a couple years ago. Lost over 20 pounds in 3 months. It was fine. I'm still down in weight and healthy as a horse (at 60). Never eat white bread again.
I liked cutting green bell peppers into spoon type scoops and eating tuna fish. |

I could never bring myself to do the all veg detox that you are suppose to do.

I would love to do a detox but they all say you should do them when you have a few days of peace and quiet and don't have to do anything or go anywhere. I'm still waiting for those days.
