Started dieting two weeks ago, and I was wondering if any of you have any
success/failure stories regarding dieting and weight loss. I'm using a modified
Atkins, low carb, but with a greater variety of veggies than allowed an the
strict Atkins regime. Results so far, 8 pounds lost in two weeks. I have had a
bad cold for most of this time, so haven't been exercising. I expect to do
better once I get back on the treadmill. I'm looking to lose around forty
pounds.


George,

I've been on the low carb diet since the end of Sept.. I also started
walking 3-4 miles/day and doing some light weight lifting. I've dropped 26 lbs.
I do eat complex carbs, i.e. veggies but no longer eat bread, drink beer or
consume sugar.
I feel better than I have in years. I think it's possible I was intolerant
of milk products and possibly dairy. My G.I. problems cleared up, anyway. My
triglycerides dropped from 1094 to 554 (high and lows of last 4 years) to 98.
Total cholesterol from 211 to 248 to 187. My wife lost some weight (can't tell
you how much but she is thinner than she's been in 25 years of marriage), as well.
I think the main thing is to cut out refined foods like white bread, potatoes
and mainly sugar. I do know that what I was doing wasn't working and this diet
seems to be accomplishing the things I wanted.
