General Comments
Since my daughter was born I have been eating as if i'm still pregnant. My daughter is now 16 months and I have struggled to lose the weight. I told my doctor that I couldn't stop with the food cravings and she recommended the Atkins diet to help curve my cravings. It has been a week since I tried this diet, and I have to say my cravings have gone down and I have lost 10 lbs. I have also been going to the gym an hour a day, but I was going to the gym for the past 3 months and only saw a weight lost of maybe 3 lbs. My problems was that I was eating what ever I wanted and working out but couldn't lose the weight. I think the Atkins diet is great to lose those pounds. And I still have 45lbs to lose, which I find it easy to follow. If you go to the official Atkins website their are delicious receipts that you can follow which gives you a large range of food you can eat. I would recommend this diet to any one. I only think people gain the weight back because they don't make a lifestyle change. I don't plan on following a low carb high fat diet forever. I just want to lose this weight and change my lifestyle to eat a variety of nutrious foods to maintain a healty weight....
