JCVela's Journal, 10 June 2010

It's obvious I'm dealing with a plateau here...I 've been gaining and shedding the same 2 pounds over and over, it's begining to be frustrating.

A friend of mine on the other hand is shedding pounds very easily, as I started to talk with him he told me that like me he had failed on many diets until his Doctor recommended he did Atkins.
I don't have anything against it, in fact I didn't even knew what were the main principles it was based on, and as he begun walking me through what it is and how it works, it did make sense in my head.

To be fair, I am doing South Beach because I read the book and the ideas made sense somehow, and I still do believe in it, but after so long of not seeing results, I'm willing to give Atkins a try.

So starting on monday I'll be on the Induction phase of atkins, hopefully I'll get a lot of support from my buddies, which I know are on Atkins so they can share with me tips and other useful things.

I bought the book and am reading it, and am right now at 46% complete (I'm reading it on Kindle), I hope to have it finished by saturday and go to the supermarket and buy all needed things for the new beginning.

I just wanted to share this.
I feel it will work great.

Welcome to Atkins JC I am sure you will see results. You know they say a change is as good as a rest..lol. We will help you all we can and be glad to do it. If you do a clean Induction ( no cheating ) your hunger and cravings will be gone. The book is great and will help you with any questions you have. Make sure you journal all your food so you can track your carbs. You will do great! :)

Thanks Lenny, I trust I will be able to control myself, one thing I like is I can eat all kinds of cheese and it doesn't have to be fat free...yaaay!!

Don't get too discouraged man! Plateau's happen...I adjusted my intake of calories a lil and the pounds started coming off again. Granted I went from eating 2800-3000 to 2000-2400 and I have lost another 4 lbs. Good luck on the new endeavor man! Keep us posted!
