Atkins diet

[Morag]

Anyone done it? I've done slimming world and weight watchers. Tried slim fast but can't stomach shakes. Nothing seems to work. And with 2 small children trying to fit in exercise is a no goer.

Grab a kettlebell and a kettlercise dvd. 20 min routine, easy to fit into a busy lifestyle, and no need to leave your house!

a paleo type diet is I believe more likely to be effective, more natural too

Cut carbs out, eat enough protein, do some/more exercise, weight loss

Only ever done Slimming World. Seems to work for me. Don't really know a great deal about Atkins.

Cutting 500 calories a day is enough for weight loss. It won't be as fast as the fad diets, but it is maintainable for a lifetime. The difficulty with "diets" is regaining the weight when you stop doing the diet.

Mrs S got me doing a variant of the Atkins before we went on our joolies I lost 3/4 of a stone in about a month, as said, loads of protein, the one we did we had no carbs, dairy or fruit for 2 weeks,then added nuts and a bit of fruit. I was surprised how easy it was, you can still have a half decent fryup, i got used to salads a lot easier than i thought i would. I changed shape more than the weight loss would suggest too, really felt better so back on it good style after xmas. Before I started I was 15st 4lbs, I'm now 14st 4lbs but looking much trimmer. Her bro is a nutritionist and fitness trainer so can put anyone interested in touch with him.

When on the high protein diets, please dont go mad with the high protein drinks, one of the scientists that works for me has told me that they are a great way of fecking up your kidneys

I find this diet to be effective but breakfast is impossible for me and I have become quite intolerant to wheat and diary as a result,

why u no brekbrek ??

 

[loooweee]

why u no brekbrek ??

Finding paelo options for breakfast is impossible for me. Silly food blogs tell me 'skip' it or try break the idea of breakfast food being 'breakfasty' which is just evil

Can I do a ham and cheddar omelette on this paleo thing?

 

[loooweee]

You can get a dietician for free from NHS I would recommend it if your doing any kind of nutty diet idea, just to keep track of your health or even a sensible balanced diet.
Remeber someone posting this..

Half a plate of veg one quarter protein and one quarter starchy foods that is underrated advice imo

Have u tried eating omelette every day? Plus some paelo diets say you must eat less than 6 eggs a week if you want to lose weight
