Hi, :wave: I was wondering if any of you out there following the Adkins plan could help me out a bit. I am considering trying this plan. I would LOVE to loose 20lbs by June, and thought this may be the quickest way to do it. My questions are:
1. What do you eat a day?
2. How much exercise do you do?
3. How much weight have you lost in a period of time?
THANK YOU in advance for all that will respond. Any information you can give me would be great. :bouncing:

Hey there, that's awesome that you are going on the Atkins!
I've been on it about 3 weeks now...I lost 12 pounds the first week, and about 6 the past 2 weeks.
It's amazing how the weight is coming off...I was skeptical about it at first, and I'm a carb freak...but I thought I would give it a try anyway.
I sugguest you learn about induction and the complete list of all the foods you can have.
Good luck with your diet! :D

I eat bout 1200 calories and 20grms of carbs.Im on induction still ,but so far ive lost
12 pds in 8 days.For breakfast i eat 2 eggs with 1 tbs cream scrambled.For lunch i eat either a chicken or hamburger or steak salad.For dinner i sometimes make fried flounder or chicken with atkins bake mix and a salad and some kind of low carb veggie.If i havent used up all my carbs i eat and atkins indulgence ice cream bar or sometimes a hershey i grm candy bar but only if im craving chocolate.On induction your mostly suppossed to stay with meat ,cheese and salads and veggies.But i find i can still have a treat and lose,but mind you i dont have the treat everyday.Being that the ice cream and candy bar dont seem to stall me i eat them from time to time.But you might not want to go the treat route till you finish induction.I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.Hope this helps

well I'm a male 21. I did the atkins for about a 8 months straight, and now about 6 months later I still do, but some days i'll eat carbs etc. Well I went from 260lbs to now 190lbs built. I dont know what i would have done without the Atkins.

Before Atkins did you have any bloodwork done?I have high cholesterol and im still doing atkins hope it doesnt raise my cholesterol any higher.Im on a cholesterol lowering drug now and im hoping atkins will help me lower it so i can get off the meds.Thanks for any info.

My Bp is a little high. I believe it is from being overweight and the stress of being overweight. I hope that if I start Adkins, I will be healthier and happier.
