| hello fellow dieters ! I have been trying to do atkins diet for 4 weeks now with really no verifiable success. from reading some of these bullitins, i realize i have to cut down on the coffee and (obviously) stop the once a week drinking binges.I am taking mega vitamins, and also i have been taking chomium picolinate, apple cider vinegar pills, and acidophilous pills. i've ordered a carb blocker to aid me in staying with 0 grams/day and to hopefully allow for the ocassional drink. wondering if anyone has had any success with carb blockers and also is there anything wrong with taking all these pills ??? I have started working out at the YMCA, walking 15 miles/week. i know this will help... just wondering if the inclusion of metabolic-increasing (so they say) pills and detoxifiers will help or hurt my ketosis? I have 30 lbs to lose yesterday... any advice with these pills would be greatly apprecited. |

| KARIN . THOSE CARB BLOCKERS ARE ALL A SCAM SO DONT SPEND THE MONEY , 2ND WALKING WILL HELP BUT A NO CARB DIET SHOULD START WORKING (SO IVE BEEN TOLD) WITH OUT EXERCISE, 3RD YOUR BODY WILL ONLY ABSORB THE VITAMIN'S IT NEEDS AND WILL DISCARD THE REST ..MIXING WONT HURT ..BUT REAL NO SUCCESS STORYS ON CHROMIUM |

Hi Karin
I too was taking diet aids in conjuntion with the atkins diet. The first week on atkins I lost 8 lbs. Then I started taking the diet aid, and only lost 2 lbs the following week, and the next week I lost nothing. Then I decided to stop taking any aids at all and low and behold I am now losing again. Am down 23 lbs since I started Februay 1.
Hope this helps u

| I am confused about all of the candy that either has 2 net carbs or 0 net carbs. Can you have them in the induction phase as long as you don't go over your 20 grams |

I would not eat any of the "low carb products" during the first two weeks. If you read Atkins' book, he stresses that..... you NEED to "de-carb-ify" yourself.
With that said, I've found that even many of the "low net carbs" foods will SERIOUSLY slow or stop my weight loss.
Remember, the whole "net carb" thing is an inexact science... different people process the fiber and sugar alchohols (and so on) different ways.
Read Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution and actually FOLLOW what he spells out. You *will* lose weight. (If you don't have or don't want to buy the book, go to his website.. the information is all there).
But the biggest reason for disappointment and/or not seeing weight loss is cutting too many corners or relying too heavily on processed "low carb" products.
Eat fresh food, freshly cooked, follow the directions on the Atkins site, exercise (at least a little) and you will lose weight. |

I just wanted to point out that sometimes we sabotage our weight loss be eating too much of the allowed foods.
You still need portion control. Just because cheese is allowed it does not mean to eat the whole package.
Eat slowly and stop eating when you are full.
I have started and stopped Atkins several times and I always lose between 12 and 18 lbs. during induction.
The trick is simply to eat clean and simple. No products that claim low carb.
The reason chromium is recommended is because it reduces cravings, it works for me. Good luck in your journey to your goal weight. |

i have been doing various forms of the low carb diet since '95, and over the last few years, i have also begun exercising steadily...which obviously helps....but, as far as supplements like carb blockers go, THEY HAVE WORKED FOR ME.
i have been buying them off of ebay for about three years now....these are the ones you take about twenty minutes before a meal...
i usually end up taking one or two a day, mainly in the evening, as im a late nite tv guy and like a tasty snak, like pizza or pasta, etc...
they have worked for me....i have maintained and have had no problems with them.... |
