 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!

Any takers?
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/

In October of 2008 I had the lap band and lost about 65 pounds by Aug 2010. I was eating way too many superfluous carbs and I reached a point of gaining again. I went in and got an adjustment and began an Atkinsesque life style. Since August I have lost an additional 40 pounds. My fill is in optimum mode and I am seldom hungry; I eat about 5 times a day, and, in the initial month, I targeted about 20-30 gm of carbs per day. I still aim at consuming as little carbs as possible but I will not intake breads, tortillas, pastas, or sugar. It is a very comforable lifestyle, being a carnivore that loves salads and veggies. It is simple, eat till my band says stop and eat again later.

Keep on losing,

Ed
