Right I seem to have found a diet that is working for me - who says your must do one diet only? LOL I seem to be mixing extante and atkins at the moment and its working very well on the scale (weigh in tomorrow) and i feel really happy with it.
think its going down well with the family to as i can eat with them

That's really interesting as I was just researching Atkins as I have discovered that carbs are my enemy due to another condition which means my body stores them as fat rather than using them as energy.
I was just texting my OH to ask him to order me the book from Amazon and was amused that predictive text turns the word 'atkin' in 'bulge' lol

 

[captaincollins]

hahaha bulge thats funny!
LOL most of the informatuion is on the atkins website, but basically i am just having eggs (I love eggs and have 13 lovely hens laying for me) meat and mayo LOL with some very low carb veg

good luck x

 

[captaincollins]

i feel really better when i dont have carbs, also ment to be good for my pcos

 

[Dietkitty]

Lol, same condition - PCOS. Have done lots of reading about why we gain weight with it and the bottom line is the way our bodies use carbs. It can't process them as energy efficiently so stores as fat.

 

[captaincollins]

yeah i hope it helps with everything as we been trying for over 2 years, i can count how many TOTMs I have had in that time on one hand but hey I had one 2 weeks ago so that stone I lost and no carbs must be helping!

LOL........just hoping I ovulate now

 

[Starlight]

I must admit I considered Atkins, went as far as getting the book and ended up with a headache reading it lol I need things nice and simple - you can eat X Y Z it seemed SO confusing, and I must admit I thought it sounded awful unhealthy yet I know you can get great losses on it.

Think I needed Atkins for dummies lol

 

[captaincollins]

lol i am not doing atkins atkins i just not eating carbs but doing lean meat etc not tons of fat with exante and i can have garlic meyo so very happy

 

[captaincollins]

oh ment to say the book is crazy from what i herd very hard to follow but you can download a PDF from the atkins website and its a easy to follow bullet poitn list xx

 

[captaincollins]

well thats 8 pound more off for me - happy about that
