Yeah, I did Atkins several times in my younger higher metabolism days and usually lost everything I wanted to lose in a week. But Day 3 was the killer. Half the time I didn't get past that.
My previous diet wasn't low carb. Just the opposite in fact. It's not like I ate a whole lot. Nowhere what I used to eat as a youngster. And I had given up sugary drinks. But what I did eat was white bread, or pasta, or rice, or potatoes. I might add something to that, but the base was carbs.
So this is a huge thing for me. :( My therapist was outraged that I wasn't sure if good health was worth giving up white bread and pasta.
At least the Sugarbusters diet allows you carbs, whole wheat, brown rice, that sort of thing. Low glycemic index. So it should be better than Atkins.
Sigh.
I've been pretty good. And I think my stomach might be shrinking. I'm getting full much faster. Now to add some exercise.
