Question on “Carb Blockers”

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

I have seen a product under various brand names that clais to “block”
carbs. Does any one have any knowledge aout this product? Number one,
Does it work? Number two how many carbs can one expect it to block?
(If it comes in some kind of capsule or tablet form.
I appreciate this, thank you in advance!

I was wondering if you could help me.

hi Tom, this is Jill Smith. I was so used to your other way that it’s going
to take me a minute or two to get used to your new design. I liked the old
design. It was so much easier and user-friendly. This one seems that you
have to navigate a lot in order to get where you want to go. But, like I said,
I have to spend more time on it to really get the feel of it. I do love the
information. I was panicking for a few days when I tried to pull up your
older link. I am glad I found you again…

birth control pills and Atkins

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

Hi all. Im new to this board, thanks for having me…and new to
Atkins. I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I am
reading the Atkins book, and it says that women on birth control
pills “may be disappointed with their weight loss.” Any ladies out
there who are on the pill without any setbacks in the diet??? I sure
hope so…PLEASE let me know about this. I take Yasmin. Thanks so
much.

Is there anyone who can help me…

I am determined to lose at between 25-40 pounds (I am 70 pounds
overweight). I have tried Atkins before but got discouraged (I had
lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks).
I am going grocery shopping after work and would like some advice on
what is best to buy to start….

Help, I’m truly desperate

i know what you are saying about having a hard time sticking. listen i have
been dieting for 2 years and working out hard. i lost 60 pounds and i would
like to lose 20 more. sometimes you need to just take a break for sometime
because being on a diet can be mentally taxxing especially when you are having a
hard time sticking. By going on and off you are psyching yourself out and
probably hating yourself for it. My recommendation to you is to take a break
for
a week or two from the diet and eat a normal diet, get serious and then start
the diet up fresh again. Honestly that worked best for me. I took a month
off from dieting and gained 5 lbs after my dad died and when i got back on it
seriously I was able to stick because i was mentally ready and also i was able
to lose more because my body was un-use to dieting. Just be careful not to
eat a million calories during your break!

I gained two pounds!!

Hi all. I am new to Atkins dieting, I am on day 12 of induction. I had
lost 9.5 pounds, but weighed this morning and had gained two pounds
back with NO cheating. Has this happened to anyone else? Am I doing
something wrong? Feeling discouraged…

Help, I’m truly desperate

Hi Everyone,
I’m having such a hard time staying on plan. I keep going off for a
day or two and then back on. I know Atkins saved my life and that
this is the only way I’m going to lose weight, but, I just can’t seem
to stick to it anymore.
Anyone have any suggestions that might help. Anything you use would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Cyndi

Hi Everyone
after a year of jumping on and off the induction wagon I have
tentatively began induction again. I showed bright purple on the
diastix last night wich according to my package( and not to drudge
up an age old arguement here) showed a large amount of ketones in my
urines but I KNOW I am not eating and drinking nearly enough daily I
will get into this more in a few minutes. I had dropped down to 125
in March and then things began to get very very bad for me( I am
giving back ground here for those of you who remember me), I
basically just about had a mental breakdown because my Father in law
became terminal and we were having to travel so much to help out
with him. My daughter was missing school and things were pretty bad
so I gained about 10 lbs back. Also my thyroid went completely off
kilter again( no big surprise as I can never keep it stable you
understand where I am coming from right Kristina?) I was crying
constantly, eating all the time and sleeping alot, severely
depressed even though I was on antidepressants. Anyhow they
increased my doseage of Adderall wich acts as an appetite
suppressant and I have lost about 10 lbs now and i was diagnosed as
Bipolar last week. It seems the trama of my father in laws death set
something off in me. If everyone don’t mind me asking and no one has
to answer me if the don’t want to but is anyone Bipolar and has
their meds interferred with induction and weight loss. I am also
diabetic. I have not been much up for eating and had been cheat
free for ever a week till today(grrr) I was good all day had an egg
and bacon for breakfast, sausage links for lunch and then because I
had a lousy day at work I came home and ate a 1/2 of package of
haagen daaze ice cream wich ofcourse terribly upset my stomach in
the process. I am not even gonna even consider convenience foods
this time. Just regular foods. So hopefully this time I can succeed
with this wol this time.
