The Atkins diet is the easiest diet in the world to follow. Carbs are MUCH easier to count than calories.<\/p>\n
The mindset is easier too — I can have these foods, I cannot have these.<\/p>\n
My sister lost a lot of weight on Atkins. She eats that way all the time, STILL, and has kept most of it off.<\/p>\n
I’ve tried it, find it easier to deal with, but like everything else, just don’t lose weight. <\/p>\n
Atkins is also easier on diabetics, as it cuts down the carbs, meaning we use less insulin.<\/p>\n
I just switched my Diet Gourmet meals to low-carb — based on Zone not Atkins. I had a chicken caesar salad for lunch, with ranch dressing.<\/p>\n
For dinner I had a piece of salmon, a small serving of beans, brocolli, and assorted vegetables. <\/p>\n
That’s MUCH better for me than their regular, high carb meals. <\/p>\n
My insulin use is back up to 34 units twice a day with some extra injections. Of course, my exercise level has been down.<\/p>\n
Of course the biggest problem, is that if you mention you are doing anything close to Atkins to a dietician, they start screaming that you’ll ruin your kidney or get high chlorestral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
