Re: Discouraged with loosing 10%

[Guest guest]

well the 1299 calorie plan that Kaiser suggested worked well for me.........but others have said that atkins worked for them well too, Maybe change up the exercise and mix the foods around and drink lots of water .......... good luck Colleen"Mrs. " wrote: Hello, my name is I am feeling so discouraged.

Hi Mrs ..My name is Barbara C and I had my

surgery Sept 21,2005.I haven't said much but I do read

alot of the posting on this board.We have all been

there waiting for lbs to come off. In my opinion and I

am sure you have heard this before but I would stick

with the 1200 calorie diet not Dr Atkins. I would

drink lot of water of course and join Curves. Work out

at least 5 times a week.I guarantee if you do this the

lbs will come off. Feb of 2005 I weighed 317 I now

weigh 185. I started out a 4x and now in size 14. I am

getting there but I still drink my water and I still

work out at least 5 times a week. Mrs keep it

going you will make it.. It is worth the time that you

put into this life change. I hope this helps you at

least a little , and I hope to hear from you soon

saying your last 11 lbs are off.

Thank you so much for the reply. It is encouraging to hear your story.

Atkins works better for men than for women. When women plateau on

Atkins, that's usually all she wrote. Try the 1200-calorie plan

instead, and eat lots of fish! Good luck -

Mrs. ...I have one word for you...PERSISTENCE.

It will pay off but you got to stay with it. Atkins

helps you lose anywhere from 10-15 pounds the first

two weeks so your body is just adjusting to that loss.

Increase your water and exercise if you are able to

(walking is by far better than running, ect). The

weight will come off but stay the course and don't

lose focus and give up. I know it is not easy but we

have all been there and have made it and so will you.

Just don't quit no matter what the scale says. This

is not a rush although I know you want your surgery

like now. Just look at what you have lost and let

that be your driving force as well as getting your

surgery. Be encouraged.

Hi : I know exactly how you feel. I met with my surgeon on February 16th, and he advised me to lose 10 more pounds. Well I finally lost them and it took me all this time. I would suggest drinking more water even more then 64oz, and increase whatever exercise you are doing. It may be hard at first but with slow gradual steps it will get easier.

What worked for me was really buckling down that last month 1/2 and

increasing my exercise. I also pre-package all my food so I won't be

tempted. I also made a pact to myself not to eat out at all - not even

1 time in the last month and a 1/2.

Good Luck, your doing great and don't stop now.

I GAINED weight on Atkins. Still haven't figured that one out.

If you eat too much caloric volume on Atkins but do not exercise,

you will gain weight, and if you eat excess fat while on Atkins and

you have Eastern European blood, you will gain weight on Atkins.

AND IF YOU CHEAT ON ATKINS AND EXIT BENIGN DIETARY KETOSIS, IT TAKES

TWO WEEKS TO GET BACK INTO AN EFFECTIVE MODE AND YOU WILL, IN THE

MEANTIME, GAIN WEIGHT FROM E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G YOU EAT!!!!! Atkins

is a " no-splurge, no-exception, no-vacation " diet. It is DESIGNED to

change your metabolic response to eating by the shifts, and if you

shift back, you screw it up. To their credit, the Atkins people have

always made this clear. If you wish to experiment with the " tipping

point " AFTER you have lost x amount of weight and thus can expect

metabolic changes because of changes in lipids and insulin

resistance, that's one thing. But the people who fiddle with Atkins

after the quick initial weight loss, or say " one sandwich with bread

every day won't make a difference " and deceiving themselves.

My doctor put me on Atkins (pre-Kaiser). I am convinced that the

Atkins diet stabilized my blood sugar and made me feel better and

more productive every day I was on it - and I'm also convinced that

the amount of calories and fats I ate on the diet contributed

massively to my coronary artery disease, my hear attack, and my

congestive heart failure. The " ideal " Atkins, the " sensible " lower-

fat, lower-calorie Atkins that was in the long-defunct first version

of the book - that's a great diet for most people, especially men,

if you can stick to it. But the eat-as-much-and as-much-fat-as-you-

want later modern version is NOT for the morbidly obese.
