Looking for a teen on atkins
 

Hey!
I'm from PA and looking for another teen who's doing atkins. Lemme know!

well.... Im not a teen but im only just 21... will I do?

Hi... I am not a teen either I am 20 lol !

Hey to both of you!

Yeah, 20 and 21 are fine! I'm mature for my age, anyway! So.... How's the Atkins going? Its going good for me. I've lost like 10 lbs in a week and a half, but I can't update my profile! I don't really care though.... I'll figure it out later. But Atkins is definitely the plan for me.

I havent really been doing it 100%. I wanted to wait to go full force until i went to the grocery store and got all the foods i wanted and needed. but I haven't been cutting out the breads, pastas, etc.. I plan to go to the store this weekend. So I can start 100% on monday. That is great you lost 10lbs in just a week and a half! I hope I have results like that...I find it so motivating when I see results fast or like that.

What's up everyone? Can a guy join? I am 19 yr. old sophomore college student. I have been doing Atkins almost 3 months and have lost 30 lbs. I guess I am no longer a rookie in this, so I can give “advice” if any of you have questions. It’s a good idea to keep in touch with people our age who are doing Atkins since we are likely to have similar experiences. Hope to have good chats here.

Hey SoCal! Sure you can join! I'm just so glad people are actually posting! congrats on the 30 lbs! You probably do have some good advice for us 'rookies'

Rachel04: I know how hard Atkins can be sometimes. Don't worry, I've cheated too! But I know you can commit and do it 100%! I know I'm not going to cheat again. This could be the hypochondriac in me speaking, but I think I'm either sugar intolerant or have Celiac, which is an intolerance to a protein in grain called gluten. I'm pretty sure of this, because, the two times I have cheated I actually felt sick. I cheated yesterday- I had a day off and it is so hard for me to diet on the weekends- and I felt sick and tired the entire day. I felt gross. I was in a horrible mood and had a headache. I slept for most of the day and I'm still feeling the effects today. So, I hope I can motivate you by telling you that you will literally feel 1000x better on Atkins. Obviously, this will motivate me not to cheat, but I'm kind of worried because now I am literally afraid to eat sugar and carbs! Not because I'll gain weight, but because I get sick! Anyway, on to more happy things. I know I'll also stay on Atkins because I'm going to Costa Rica in June and I have a crush on this guy! And I really want to go to prom with him! I feel so stupid saying that- but its true!
So, good luck on Atkins! And I must say, the food really is the best. I was almost going to cheat today, but I didn't want to feel sick again. So, right now I'm going to go make a low-carb cheesecake! The food on Atkins is definitely the best. Some advice: now, whenever I want to cheat, I come here! It has really helped me. Also, look around the recipes. I've found some incredible ones, and, if you don't already know this, each recipe category has a special section that lists all the recipes suitable for induction! Good luck with everything!

Thanks for the advice smodel. Congrats on the 30 lbs loss. That is awesome. the first time I did this I lost 15 lbs in one month but i ended up not sticking to it.

Thanks for the welcome. Although it doesn't really make sense, Atkins was tough to start and now it's easy. Your body gets used to the change, but playing ball (or any exercise) and eating correctly is the key. I’ve been forced to cook, which sucks, but when I eat that steak or chicken it’s so much better than the processed frozen food I would have otherwise eaten. Anyways, I am still going strong…

I don't like to cook when I'm on a diet, either. But I've found a lot of recipes here that are fast, easy, and taste good. And, I got some plain gelatin today and made a low carb cheesecake! It was so fast. There was a no-bake recipe on the back of the box and all I had to do was switch in splenda for the sugar. Just out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite recipes/

I don't have any special recipes, but the following is what I eat: In the mornings I will usually make scrambled eggs with ham or have an omelet with cheese. I keep pre-cooked bacon and sausage in the fridge too, it's so convenient. For lunch I usually grill some chicken and either make myself a "lettuce burger" with cheese, tomato, jalapenos, and mayo or just eat the chicken in a salad. Sirloin steak with grilled unions is awesome for dinner. I also keep frozen chicken wings in the freezer and low carb popsicles.

That's most of what I cook. If I want some coffee, I usually get an Iced Americano from Starbucks and add a little half and half and 2 packets of splenda. It's the best. If I want fast food, I usually get a double-double protein style from In-N-Out. Peanuts are also a good snack. What do all of you eat?

Hey everyone. I'm 18 and in my second semester of college. I just started Atkins for the second time, and it's going well.



In the second green tool bar from the top of the page, click "User CP". On the left, under "Settings & Options" click "Edit Profile". Change your current weight, then scroll down and hit "Save Changes".

Hey- Thanks TimesTwo! According to my French teacher, I'm "computer retarded!" BTW- Glad the Atkins is going well.

Last time I started Atkins, in November, I wasn't really serious about it. I just restarted induction a few days ago, and I'm having a big salad and a large omelet everyday. I put hard-boiled eggs, 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing, and some kind of meat on it (pepperoni, chicken, steak, bacon). For my omelets I use three eggs, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 ounce of cheese, and mushrooms or meat as a filler. I snack on hard-boiled eggs, cheese, and bacon in between meals. For my third meal, I usually have some kind of meat, like steak. Yum. I do miss my sweets, though. That craving should go away soon, though...I hope.

Hey. Yeah, the cravings tend to diminish as your body gets used to the diet, but they don't go away. Now I am addicted to diet coke and splenda, but that is what keeps me from eating sugar loaded candy. It's hard to stop eating sweets, but it'll be sweet when you reach your goal. That's the way I look at it!

Wow actual teens! This part of the site is usually dead.
I'm 19..I've been doing Atkins since like August.

Hey- I realized this part was dead too... so I made my own post! I'm so glad people are posting here! So... how is the Atkins going for you? I'm on the "Fat Fast" right now (for several reasons). Its wierd- its challenging, yet at the same time I feel stronger. You seem like you've had success, based on your profile (what I can see from you posting). Keep up the good work!

What's Fat Fast?

I've lost 60lbs so far so I'm happy...I guess I'm doing well. Only a couple million more lbs to go. Just trying not to plateau.

Good for you... 60! The "Fat Fast'- which neither I nor Dr. Atkins really reccomends, might sound a bit gross, frankly. You eat 1,000 calories a day and from about 75 to 90 percent is supposed to come from fat! Sometimes I have trouble losing weight, and this is basically guaranteed to work. It is hard, the portions are pretty small, but I'm getting through it ok. I decided to do it because I have an event on Friday, but I also decided to do it because, before starting Atkins, I was pretty undisciplined about what I ate.

Im addicted to it too now - but I find a can or two really helps me through the day - it takes the edge off whatever craving im having :)

So what kind of things are you eating on the Fat Fast?

HEEEY IM A TEEN...N I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO U GUYS...im 17!! =]

u all can reach me on mYSPACE...jus let me know,k? ;]..I REALLY NEED A BUDDY to go through this journey with me..

Hey LadyAkinz! I'm 17 too! Unfortunately... all my friends hate me because I don't have a myspace! I don't know, I just never got around to it! But, I think I'm going to get a facebook (one of these days!). I'll let you know. I hope the Atkins is going well.

Hey! I am NOT doing the fat fast anymore! It is too hard! I don't know why I even tried! But, I'm doing well. I would not reccomend it! But, if you have a copy of DANDR and are curious, its in there! I don't know though... I might do it sometime, like if I have enough discipline! The first time I tried it, I caved and binged! The second time, I was like, this is stupid- I can lose weight just doing Atkins induction! Why am I putting myself through this! On the other hand, what Dr. Atkins says in his book- and what I agree with- is that its not the fact that you are hungry on this "fat fast"- its the fact that the portions are so tiny! (and also that its only 1,000 calories). Its like eating 5 mini meals- but they are soooo tiny because they are so calorie dense. For example, you can have 1 ounce of macadamia nuts (200 calories), or, like, 2 egg yolks with a tablespoon of mayo (also 200 calories). Its just hard. I've had worse, though. I once did this diet called QOD- where one day you eat 400 calories, the next you eat normally. That wasn't that bad, because the foods are pretty filling (as in more volume). But you're supposed to have 2 cups of vegetable juice- it made me feel really good and I swear to God that my skin cleared up- but I got to a point where I literally couldn't stomach it anymore! It just tastes so bad to me! But I was able to stick with it for a little while because of the fact that you know you can eat more the next day- its not really permanent. Obviously, you can't binge on your regular day, but its also hard because you know you'll have to eat the veggie juice the next day!
