Atkins or Low-Carb Curious?
Hi everybody!
New Group! -- http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
We will be discussing low-carb / high-protein / Paleolithic / high-fat / Atkins eating programs!
Several OH members have posted questions or comments about the Atkins program, and also about high-protein, or low carb, or high-fat dieting. Some people are interested in trying it to lose weight, or to refine their weight-loss, or just get carb cravings or blood-sugar under control.
This new group will provide information and support for those who would like to try this way of eating.
Even though I had WLS three years ago, and am thoroughly pleased with my Roux-en-Y, it has become necessary to get my sugary-foods cravings under control. I still dump like a Mack truck, but have found other carbs slipping unhealthfully into my eating, and dearly wish to lose a little more weight.
So -- I'm "doing" Atkins again (it was effective for me in the past). If you are also researching this way of eating, come give the new group a shot!
Come join us!

Interested in low-carb nutrition? Thinking of trying Atkins? Want to try high-fat and/or high-protein eating? Whether or not you have had (or are thinking about) WLS http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
I had RnY in January '05. My high weight was 320, I was 250 on surgery day, and my lowest weight post op was 180. I'm now 210 and not happy whatsoever being over 200 again. I can still only eat small portions, 1/2 of a sandwich, open faced so only 1/2 of a slice of bread, so I know I haven't stretched too much.
I know my issue is sugar. I was hoping to have the sugar intolerance they said I'd have before the surgery was done, and I should have never tested it.
i did Atkins for 2 weeks and dropped 11 pounds then took a 2 day break...no breaks this time!
goal: 30 pounds regained to be gone then to lose the 20 I never lost and get to 160.
