Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
I'm Baaaaaaaaack .... It's Confirmed, I gain weight on Weigh****chers
Okay folks, I finally confirmed it for myself. From December through May I "did" Weigh****chers, about 1300 calories, moderate protein, high fiber, "moderate" carbs -- about 200 grams a day.
And I gained weight ... I gained twelve pounds in five months, and felt like crud.
Sooooooooooo ..... back to Atkins! I'm going back and reading the boards, checking to see what's what. Will be back to post today's intake later in the day!

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 know the feeling of GAIN..and it sucks! In the past year I too have gained around 12 lbs. Trust me..I don't like it. I got a lil too comfortable with eating the wrong things. 3 yrs. out and I refuse to carry this extra 12 lbs. So two weeks ago I cut the carbs! Yes Ma'am I did...weighed this morning and nothing..lo l I'm not a quitter I'm a fighter..we can do this! To heck with weight gain!
Yeah - I am back, too! Really have been low carb for the past 1.5 years and lost an additional 30 lbs post GBP in 2009. Took last week off to hoggg out - I was on vacation - felt miserable while eating the stuff, but wanted to get it out of my system. Gained 4 lbs.
Today, I restarted Atkins induction.
Don't know if you have heard of all of the podcasts and websites available for support for low carbers. Check out livinlavidalowcarb.com - he (Jimmy Moore) does/shares amazing amounts of information and there is tons of it out there. I need to read/see a lot of stuff to keep me motivated - it really does help!

I was banded 2/09. As far as I'm concered the "Bariatric diet" is Atkins. The surgeon and time agree with me in private. I have had bad issues with the band. I was looking for the failed band groups and found this. Sure would have loved to have long ago.
I had unfilled last Feb slowly filled to about 2/3 of what it had been. I was able to get solid protein in again. Started on strick Atkins in January and started to lose again. After a few months of losing my band got tighter so had more fluid taken out to be able to eat solid again. Since January 1/12 I have been able to get 45 pounds back off.
I have only ever been able to get weight off with Atkins.
