Atkin's Diet

[Worldlife]

Yup... they're good for the vowels

[Worldlife]

Between the "ongoing weight loss" (OWL) and "lifetime maintainence" and have only lost a few pounds over the last few months.

Rarely have bread, biscuits, rice, pasta and the high carbohydrate foods of my previous lifestyle.

Read today that the salads I now enjoy at McDonalds are being sold by them at a loss. It's alleged that the idea is people will feel they are coming into a healthy food environment and consequently continue to buy the burgers !!!!

Love the comment abot Mcdonald's

Few questions Wordlife:

Do you actually feel physically better/fitter than when you started on the diet?

Has your cholestrol gone done?

[Worldlife]

@crankykick

Well I hope I got the McDonald's policy statement right

Feel fantastic on what I will anticipate to be my Atkins Lifetime Maintainence Nutritional Plan.

My most substantial carbohydrate input is concerned with keeping the bowels working well - a helping of All Bran!!!!!!

I did not worry about my cholestrol levels when I was two stone overweight and if I had a problem before I started the Atkins Plan I am confident it has been reduced or is non-existent.

What Atkins says about this issue is.........

Isn't doing Atkins bad for your heart?
While you may have heard that a diet high in saturated fat causes heart disease or athero-scelerosis (arteries clogged with cholesterol-laden placque), it is actually a diet high in sugar and other refined carbohydrates combined with fat that is the real villain. Once you eliminate the white flour, sugar and other nutrient-empty carbohydrates from your diet, the fat you consume in meat or from other sources is burned for fuel (lipolysis) and is not converted into cholesterol or other harmful blood fats. Independent clinical studies indicate that cholesterol and triglyceride drop significantly on Atkins and levels of HDL ('good') cholesterol rise, often dramatically

On balance I feel certain that the loss of weight and removing junk foods from my diet has had very positive benefits to my health.

It's clear that a junk food menu and overeating is harmful.

The indication so far is that the Atkins plan is helping people to lead healthier lives.

Hope this is helpful

Went into Woolies today and see they are doing "Low Carb" Rolo's and kit Kat at over a £1 a bar

Unbelievable talk about cashing in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Worldlife]

Maybe low carb but probably too many calories

[Tia]

It's the sugar content too that you have to watch....

[Worldlife]

ah... I know I should have included more low carbohydrate sugar in my low carb diet

Then onto the high calorie proteins

[Tia]

Only 2lbs to go Worldy!

[greatlover]

Worldlife, just caught it, slow, that's me. i am one of those lucky ones, no matter what I eat, I remain at 9-1/2 stone, have done for years, but then I get called skinny, so what the hell does it matter. What is important is how you feel. we are none of us perfect (apart from Tia, who is) we're to fat, too thin, too short too tall, we are what we are, and should be happy with that. Be happy worldlife.

[Tia]

awwwww you flatterer you lover!

[Worldlife]

Greatlover........ was reasonably happy with my obesity Decided to reduce weight on health grounds. So many folk around me were being affected with diabetes and I didn't fancy ending up giving myself daily injections



It was not so difficult and I am even happier with my reduced weight and healthy food menus.

[Tia]

I love healthy eating too!

[Worldlife]

Worldlife is still around but lying low on this Forum.

I heard he went missing after murdering his children's nanny - I might have got him mixed up with someone else though.

[Tia]

I didn't know he had children

Some basic and easy exercises for 6 pack abs are leg lifts, the plank, and the crunch,
For the six-pack abs, a person has not only strengthened their abs by performing exercises,
but also follow a diet and workout routine that help him to have a low body fat and help to visible abdominal muscles...
