Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2005So frustrated!
1-1/2 years ago I went on Atkins for the first time. Within 4 months I lost 30 pounds with hardly any effort, not even any exercise. I have maintained that loss doing low carb or low fat. Now I want to lose more weight. I restarted Atkins following it to a T just like I did 1-1/2 years ago. I cannot lose a single ounce. I've checked and I'm not overdoing it on fatty food, I'm eating lots of allowed veggies and lean meats, fish, etc. Drinking the suggested amount of water. I even added some exercise though only walking daily. Still can't lose an ounce. Prior to this I did a low fat and watching calories diet, with the walking, on that I couldn't lose anything either. I'm so frustrated and at a loss to what I should try! help! > 1-1/2 years ago I went on Atkins for the first time. Within 4 months I > lost 30 pounds with hardly any effort, not even any exercise.

Do the same Atkins, etc, but count calories and make sure that you set a sensible calorie limit.  Signature223/175.0/180 My suggestion would be to increase your exercise. Walk farther or faster or maybe add some strength training or Pilates. Good luck in meeting your goal! Wendy > My suggestion would be to increase your exercise.

This year I started on a beta-blockers for hypertension. I just read an article on the atkins website stating this particular met can interfere with weight loss. Swell. I was wondering why last year I did so well and this year has been a struggle with no results. I'll have to discuss it with my doctor though. Thing is, you think he would know this was possible, and he's been the one telling me to lost weight. For heaven's sake. > 1-1/2 years ago I went on Atkins for the first time.

Your body has not evolved to do nothing - it is a highly developed activity machine that requires daily use. Atkins stipulates this very clearly. The *only* exception to that is if you are deliberately doing calorie restriction as part of some life extension idea; in which case you don't want to be active because that would have to be fuelled by calories that you are trying to avoid - but nobody knows the long term consequences of such a lifestyle, and it sounds very hard to follow to me. -- Succorso |
