Hi, I have been on Atkins for a year and have only lost 15lbs. I have been doing mostly induction but at some points I have gone more toward 25 carbs per day. I'm pretty much losing it. Yes, I'm happy that I have not gained, and I wish I could say that I feel terrific but I don't. I love low carbing, and feel it's the way to go, but know that I must be missing something.
A few weeks ago I consulted with a Doctor in my home town who has lost an amazing 60lbs in 7 months on Atkins. She is a blood type O, the original meat eaters! She told me that the only people who will not do well on this plan is the type A's, who should not eat red meat at all!! I did not know my blood type, went to a Vitamin store and purchased a blood typeing kit. Low and behold I am an A!! I have been researching this and wonder if there's anything to it.
Anyone out there with very slow loss who may be able to relate to this, or interested in discussing the possibilities. I have ordered the South Beach Diet book, and plan to cut out red meat almost entirely and all bad Fats. For those who have not heard the South Beach Diet is the one of the newest low carb books out.
Would love input. Hope this is not too long. Thank You!!
