I have been following Atkins for the last couple of months now, following it very close I might add. I have not lost any weight. Last night I decided I wasn't going to do it exactly, anymore. I miss fruit and yogurt, but that's about all. So I decided I was going to still do low carb, but add in some fruits and yogurt. Well I got up this morning and so far I have not been able to bring myself to make the strawberry smoothie I was so looking forward to for breakfast. The guilt I have for thinking of switching this way of eating is terrible. I've never had such a problem going off a plan before.
What do you all think is this a bad idea to add some fruit and greek yogurt to my life. I'm so stressed that Atkins hasn't helped me lose any weight. Yes my BS #'s are great and that's probably the reason I'm having such a struggle with changing.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I really need to get this weight off.
I have been reading Dr. Bernstein's plan 6-12-12, have you seen that?
I do Atkins for Breakfast and one other meal per day, the other meal I eat want I want but I do watch my Carbs. I get weighed next month, I have no idea if I lost any, but my jeans are a little loose.
I've seen a Dr. Bernsteins diet center on TV commercials, but I think it's really expensive to go to, not sure if that's the same guy though.
I have so much weight to lose and I just don't get why low carb is not working for me.
If your jeans are looser, then you must have lost something, congratulations, and congratulations on being able to wear jeans, I haven't for probably 40 years.
What I read about the Bernstein diet didn't sound any more expensive than Atkins. I paid $4.19 for my Turkey TV frozen dinner. At Wal-Mart they were $3.89, but I could not get there.
The Ad I saw about Nutri-System was cheaper than any of them. They have specials all the time.
Hang in there, if we don't keep trying we will never get there.
Sassie - have you been trying to do any exercise also to maybe help burn the calories? The yogurt if it is the greek kind has protein which is good for you and even fruits.
Some diets don't always work for everyone, since we are so different. Has your doctor or even a dietician made any suggestions for you?
