I just started the Atkins diet. At first I was skeptical, but then I read his book, and he seemed to know what he was talking about. I really believe that I was eating way too much sugar in the form of processed foods like cola, bread, candy, and other junk foods. I was also taking in a lot of carbs eating chinese food and basically all forms of fast food. Also I was always hungry.
Now that I'm on Atkins, I have bacon and eggs for breakfast. Then for lunch it's a large salad with various meats and vegetables. For dinner we do another salad, and then our choice of a decent entree. So far we've done filet mignon twice, fajitas without the tortilla, chicken wings, shrimp, scallops, and it's all within the diet.
The benefits have been this,
I'm never hungry anymore.
My mood has stabilized.
I've kicked my caffeine and cigarette habits.
I've lost 10 pounds.
I could seriously live like this for quite awhile.
I know a lot of people try to do this diet by eating meat only, but Atkins doesn't tell you to do this. Eat a salad, eat non starch vegetables, they'll make you feel good, and your body will notice that you're not trying to suffocate it in junk anymore.
Say what you want about the diet, giving up junk food, and eating fresh unprocessed foods seems like a good idea for anyone.
