Im loving atkins, feel like it was made for me, find it so easy to stick too, love the food, am amazed by how low carb has improved not only my shape but my head too (I am so less stressed/anxious etc) and feel people with weight/sugar issues like me (I have impaired glucose tolerance) should all be giving it a go as its so free'ing.
I posted something a bit like that on my facebook and OMG so many haters! Atkins will kill me apparently (and all the refined carbs and huge amounts of sugary crap I had been eating on and off - wont?) that it will give me high cholesterol/heart disease (being a yo yo dieter with HUGE sugar and crab cravings - the heart disease was in the post) etc etc.....
I know Im waffling but I feel so let down by my friends. This is really working for me, I dont have carb cravings, Im not stood in my kitchen thinking what shall I eat next, I eat only when Im hungry and my meals are half the size of before just cos I dont seem so hungry anymore - like taking the high carbs out is like removing a massive appetite stimulant. I cant even be tempted, Im just not interested in eating that kinda stuff I used too.
No wonder I was plateuing for months as I was trying so hard but my sugar/carb cravings kept slinging me off my plan and now they are gone. Nada. Nil. Nowt.
My carb cravings were so bad and my intolerance so low that I would ram a load of biscuits down my neck, feel guilty, have a crucifying sugar headache, get mood swings, have to take painkillers and other meds (over doing the sugars gave me cystisis - lets not go there lol) but as you can imagine there was all this crud from eating a handful of biscuits. It was like some kinda biological war in my body and now its stopped. Finito. Gowwwn.
Anyone else had people be like that? I think they just dont understand....
