Starting on the Dr. Atkins Diet

Hello everyone. It's been a really long time since I posted here. I promise that this time I will be posting lots of new articles, hopefully on a weekly basis. Well, since last year I have managed to keep off 5kg (11 pounds), so right now I weigh 80kg (176 pounds). I lost the weight last summer in the span of 3 weeks thanks to the Dr. Atkins diet. I had to put off the diet for a few months but now I'm starting again. I downloaded the book and it was really helpful and interesting. The diet is similar to other diets that I mentioned so far in this blog...practically you need to avoid carbs, if you want to loose weight carbohydrates should become your worst enemy. Forget the food triangle and focus on proteins and vegetables.


With the Dr. Atkins diet I was able to eat eggs and bacon for breakfast. Steak and mayonnaise for lunch and chicken salad for dinner. Once you know exactly what you can eat and what you should avoid it is really easy to make great tasting meals without feeling guilty. It's also really fun inventing new recipes that don't "break the code". I did invent some Atkins-friendly-recipes actually and I will be posting them here weekly so check back regularly.
