Open Question: Are Hydroxycut products effective supplements for someone on a low-carb diet?
I just finished the Induction phase of the Atkins diet, losing eleven pounds. It was four pounds under the estimated fifteen pounds but I'm still happy with the result. I'm considering staying within the Induction group of foods to keep my weight loss around ten to fifteen pounds every two weeks. My question is whether or not a product such as Hydroxycut or Hydroxycut Hardcore will interfere with the Induction phase of the Atkins diet. Any info you folks can provide will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Open Question: Atkins Diet Experts....?
Do fiber pills with 4 grams of carbs ruin the first two weeks of the Atkins diet? I know you are allowed 20 grams of carbs a day but there are also certain things you cannot eat or else it will corupt the diet in the beginning. Does anyone know if these do??
Also does anyone have any good no-carb atkins recipes?
Open Question: Holiday weight..yuck...help. Any weight-loss success stories you could share?
As I sit here on my lap top..watching tv..and chomping on a slim jim feeling as bloated as can be...I've come to realize the holiday foods, sweets, and cravings have gotten the best of me. There is no doubt in my mind that I have gained 10 pounds and to be honest it is pure laziness and boredom..which causes me to eat.
I'm not a fat girl...I know thats what all heavy-set people say but really I am not. I would love to lose the 10 pounds I've gained though. I know the logical way is to exercise and eat healthy. Well lately I've been super busy with work and school and college registration stuff I just haven't had much time to worry about it. But it's a new year and I want to crack down.
NOW that I've told you all my life story, my question is...what are ways that I could lose some poundage? Please spare me the obvious eat healthy and exercise...yes I KNOW this is the best method and I plan to exercise more and eat healthier however, I am looking for suggestions.
What was the fastest way for you to lose weight? What did you eat? Ever tried Atkins or South Beach? Ever try any fad diet? What is your best success story?
I just want some insight and helpful advice that is a little more than just the common sense.
Thanks =)
and happy new year!

Open Question: which is more better atkins diet or just simple low carb diet?
Can somebody tell me which is better Akins or just a simple low carb diet. I heard from somebody that atkins is not really good for diet coz don't have much fruits than a simple low carb.. but i totally don't know about this such things coz i use to eat green leafy vegetables, soups and fruits and i was just about 110-112lbs but when come over "oh gush" i am now 158lbs (i am just in my late 20's and 5'0 inches tall for an oriental lady). Well, i am totally worried about myself coz i do much exercise than my husband. Actually there were times i lose 10 pounds just soups and other vegies.
But can somebody tell me (in atkins or just a simple low carb -- i don't know which is better) what kind of food and how much carbs are in different food that we need to eat every meal.
I really need your opinion concern people because my husband had a 3 by pass surgery last 2 years ago and he need it this but when he asked his doctor about this stuff, he just simply said "just search in internet". I don't know why his doctor cannot provide.
Please help us.. Thank You and May The Good LORD Bless You Always!
yes it's hard to avoid fruits, veggies and soup (misso broth tofu, chinese crab sweet corn soup broth stuffed cabbage leaves etc...) since i grew up with this stuff and i don't eat much meat except fish and i drink a lot of green tea before and lemon juice. The reason why i weigh a lot because of my husband coz i eat what he eats like pizza, fries, burgers, chilli dogs etc... but everytime i eat burgers i always have diarrhea, i don't know.
Anyways before my husband had surgery he was about 400 something pounds (5' 8 inches tall) and after his surgery he weigh 250 pounds (2 years ago) and now he weigh 310pounds. So he decided to loose weight coz he scared to have another surgery again if there is.

Resolved Question: No Motivation...WHY??? ?
I am not sure what it is going to take for me but I have no motivation to eat rite or exercise. I hate my weight. It has caused me depression and causes me not to love myself. I always say that I am going to start on Monday and then when Monday comes I do good for Monday and then Tuesday I am back to my old ways. I always feel really light headed and weak the first week that I try to eat less. Is that normal? I have done weight watchers, atkins, south beach, acupuncture and even my own diets and I do good for a while and then fall off the diet. I have even lately thought about weight loss surgery but I am terrified. I am a very pretty girl and I am only 4'10 so the weight makes me look very large. I am not bad built or anything but I want to loose 50 or more lbs. BUT I have no MOTIVATION! I say what I am going to do and I never do! Any advice? Be nice or don't say nothing!
Voting Question: Acai Berry pill or Colon Med on Atkins, and transition after it.?
Is it wise to have the Acai Berry pill or do the Colon Med during Atkins, or will it ruin everything? Also I want to know how to transition out of Atkins. I know that there's a maintenance phase, but I have a lot of trips planned for next year, and I know that I can't follow it forever. Is there a way to transition to more and more carbs maybe like 5 grams every 2 weeks? And please don't say anything like Atkins is unhealthy, or you made a mistake. My cholesterol dropped 22 points, a 15 year low, and my sugar dropped 10 points. It works, but I don't want to be a slave to this diet. Thanks in advanced...
The thing is that, I'm between the OWL and pre-maintenance phase. So basically, I'm close to my goal weight. I want exact answers, not to sound l3itchy, but this is a crucial stage in my life... haha...
Voting Question: Atkins Diet induction phase?
I just started the atkins diet yesterday. I am in the "induction" phase and eat no more than 20g carbs per day. This is supposidly the most rapid weight loss period of the diet. My question is if I do the induction phase for longer than 2 weeks will i continue to lose weight faster or would it be better to go onto phase 2- the OWL (ongoing weight loss) phase. Im trying to lose weight as fast as possible for my upcoming wedding. thanks in advance for your help!

Voting Question: Advice on low carb and pregnancy?
I am trying to get pregnant, and am due for my period any day now.(Crossing my fingers!) My husband and I started a low-carb diet on Friday in attempt to lose the 10 pounds we both gained since we got married in September (thanks to all the homemade baking and cookies!). We are both still in a normal weight range for our height. (I am 5 foot 4 and 138 pounds).
I am taking in about 30 grams or less of net carbs a day. Mostly I have been eating egg beaters, low fat cheese, deli meat, some light veggies, and Atkins shakes. I also continue to do my elliptical machine for 7 miles every morning, as I have been doing for over a year.
I just read that is can be unhealthy for pregnant women or those trying to get pregnant to do low carb diets. Is 30 grams too low? What would you suggest I try?
I'd appreciate your advice!

Voting Question: Fiber/Whole grains on Atkins diet?
My husband and I just started a modified version of the Atkins diet. We are only looking to lose about 15 pounds each. We skipped the induction phase but are going to limited carbs. I'm a bit confused though...is it okay for me to eat high fiber cereal? It has no sugar, 14 grams fiber, but 23 grams of carbs per 1/2 cup. Also, what about whole grain pasta?
Is there a limit to the amount of whole grain foods we can eat or does it not matter as long as they are not processed or refined sugars?

I'm 13 and I want to lose 40 pounds alot of people suggested the Atkins diet, and then Weight watchers. What diet is safer not just out of these 2 but any diet?
Resolved Question: If I skip meals for over 12 hours I go into seizures?
Is this hypoglycemia? Every site I am reading claims the body can't handle the sugar of a normal diet, resulting in hypoglycemia.
However, if I do not eat I get all the classic signs of hypoglycemia (the dizziness, horrible ringing in the ears and cold sweating). Please do not tell me to see a doctor because all they do is test blood sugar and say ok you're fine.
If I do not eat for 24 hours I go into grand mal seizures. If I eat ONLY protein (Atkins diet) I go into seizures after about 12 hours.
Anyone else?
