Aussie Intro - not so brief!
Hello everyone. My name is Kerry and I live on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. :wave:
I have about 5kg I would like to shed, have managed to lose one and a bit over the last week or so. (I lost 5 or 6kg about 10 months ago and have been fairly stable in that time). My weight issues started with heart medication about 5 years ago when an increase in meds saw an increase of 10kg over a six month period. It has been hard to get rid of ever since! (I'm no longer on meds but have a pacemaker). I am 40 (female :lol: ) with one husband, 3 kids, two dogs, 1 cow with calf, 1 bull and one cockatiel. I would dearly love to increase my energy levels in the process and feel better about myself in general. I have used the Body type diet before, and being a thyroid body type, the low carb high protein works for me. I may be opening a debate here :help: but any recommendations on an eating program that isn't quite so restrictive I would appreciate! Point me in the right direction please!!!!! Yes I do also appreciate that some restriction is necessary! :lol: I look forward to reading a lot of posts, and hearing from everyone. I have posted this intro on the main forum and on the Aussie one - don't know if that's good form or not? Sorry for the repeat if not, but figured everyone overseas was still in bed! ;) Thanks for reading. Cheers, Kerry. |
The Atkins diet !
Seriously read the book, it has many stages. Don't be put off by induction. You don't have a 'great' amount of weight to loose 3.5 kilos left ? so you might be able to get by with higher than inductions carbs. I eat ice cream (Peters carb smart), cereal (fibre X from empower foods), strawberries, chicken, salad etc all on the atkins diet. Oh and I don't count any calories! As you can see I can highly recommend the Atkins diet :) |
