Way Of Life
I think that I will be a life long Atkin’s eater. I feel so much
better now that caffeine, white flour, and sugar are out of my life.
The first 3 days I didn’t feel good–it felt like the flu. But after
that, my energy level went way up, I wake up early, rarin’ to go, I
don’t feel starving and crazy all the time. I feel like I’m finally
a “normal” person. I try not to talk about it all the time in front
of my friends. Everyone I know is so against Atkins. They believe
every bad thing they hear, won’t check out the real facts, etc. My
husband and sons are supportive, but I can tell they are just
waiting for me to get over this “fad.”
Induction is a strange phase, but an important one. I can’t believe
that it works and that it is alright. But I can feel my fat melting.
Everything is shrinking. My arms are shrinking, my face is
shrinking, my hips and ribs are starting to emerge–already. It is
the best thing that has happened to me since I had my kids.
No matter whether I lose all the weight in 8 months or 8 years or
even never, the way I feel now is worth getting the crap out of my
diet. I look forward to being able to add my veggies, eventually
fruit and maybe some whole grain back to my diet–but for now, I am
not hungry, and I’m not suffering like I did on so many diets out
there.
I wish Dr. Atkins were alive to see the new food pyramid. Wouldn’t
he have some words to say about it? I think within our life time we
will see him totally vindicated.
