Hi everyone. I've been following the Atkins Diet for 7 weeks, my old diary is here: https://www.minimins.com/threads/in-it-to-slim-it-atkins-plan.355062/
I'm doing really well, feel great, losing weight, no hunger and exercising more. I feel a bit bad about switching because I really do feel good but this is why I am making the switch.....
When I became pregnant with my daughter I didn't know I was pregnant. I still had light periods and even though I felt off, I was getting negative tests. I went to the Drs feeling exhausted and after a blood test discovered I was pregnant.....14weeks. In them first 3 months I was occasionally drinking and not being particularly healthy. I was worried my whole pregnancy that something would be wrong with her. She turned out perfect.
I've been researching Atkins and ketosis during pregnancy and most the evidence states it isn't healthy and to move onto the maintenance phase if pregnant. Which is basically a normal diet but high fat and lower than average carbs.
I'm not pregnant but we want to start trying......after what happened last time with getting periods and negative tests, I just want to be prepared and be as healthy as I can be, even while trying to conceive and carry on the good habits during pregnancy. So SW seemed the obvious choice, I'll be honest....I dislike the diet. So WW it is. I'm planning on doing nocount and SP days when I'm out and about. I've just been on the app and it is great, but I like a diary here to keep me accountable.
I'm expecting a gain the first week.....after being strictly Atkins. So I got my husband to put the scales in the loft. IM NOT WEIGHING MYSELF FOR 30 DAYS!!!!!!!
This is daunting to me but I've been a bit obsessed recently.
So let my baby making and nocount experience begin. I have PCOS. When I had my daughter it actually happened the 1st month we tried when I work the dates back. But conceiving can take longer for women with PCOS. So I'm not expecting anything fast.
Looking for friends to follow and offer support. Will record my food here.
And last of all........I finished Atkins last night and started nocount this morning. This is major for me. In the past I would have at least had some cheat days I between.
