Nyssa's Atkins Diary

[Scrumbles]

Hi Nyssa,

If you're wanting fast loss then you're right that Atkins probably isn't the answer for you. I guess it has a reputation for being speedy because of the big losses people often get when they first start - especially if they are very overweight - but most of that is water and glycogen, and the losses people tend to experience thereafter are much more akin to "normal" diets (1-2lbs per week).

So it sounds like you have a good plan there: finish up your VLCD supplies then continue to lose slowly but surely on Atkins.

Good luck!

Yes - sounds like a plan Nyssa! I would definitely do it if I had any self control - which I don't! Good luck and hope it goes off quickly! Xx

I just don't want my packs to go to waste and I really want to be comfy in my clothes, I think it's the comment from my mum which has made me go back saying she didn't recognise me from a distance, I'm definately back to Atkins though once I've used up my packs and hope fully dropped 1 stone by then.

Good luck!

Thank you, I found it so easy the first time stuck to it solidly for 12 weeks and didnt cheat once and couldn't get back on it after the break which was so frustrating! I really feel like I'm in the zone now and my heads in the right place to give it another shot x
