Life on the Atkins Diet

Description

Approximately three years ago, I tried using the Atkins Diet for losing weight. The Atkins Diet is a very low-carb, high protein regimen. I did lose weight nearly 60 pounds. I didn’t feel hungry in fact, my body completely lost some appetite for meals, including “mouth hunger” and “the munchies” from indulging in another poor behavior of mine, that I gave up season that is last. Furthermore, the acid reflux that were definitely plaguing me for a couple of years vanished after just a couple of months of following the diet.

I followed the diet program to the letter, not cheating, going through the two week “induction” period, of really low carbohydrate consumption (almost NO carbohydrate – https://www.Biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=carbohydrate intake, really), and tested the urine of mine with the one shot keto pills reviews (talking to – https://www.seattleweekly.com/marketplace/one-shot-keto-reviews-scam-complaints-and-side-effects-list/) sticks each morning, very first things, to be sure that I was maintaining ketosis. I got the basic book about the diet and also the Atkins Cookbook, and learned the right way to make a number of scrumptious food. I in addition used the Atkins Shake mixes as well as canned shakes, for when I was at the office in the early morning, as well as needed to gulp down a rapid breakfast.
The excellent thing was the weight came off just where I needed it off the most- in my abdomen and tummy. Many industry experts state that those who “carry” the excess weight of theirs in the belly are usually more susceptible to Diabetes than individuals who are equally overweight, but with an even distribution of unnecessary poundage over the entire body. I was wearing clothes that I hadn’t worn in a few years.

I was on this “funky diet”, as my disapproving doctor called it, for about 5 weeks. I looked excellent and didn’t feel hungry. What stopped me from continuing was pain- clear, intense pain in the kidneys of mine that started abruptly 1 day. I found out that kidney failure was a hazard of following this particular diet plan. I stopped, and also the pounds came back with a vengeance- probably gained more back that I had lost. Despite taking a multi vitamin and several other supplements every single day, I started to be deficient in certain phytonutrients, including Vitamin C. The last couple of weeks I was following the diet plan, I had no immune system, as well as caught colds easily. I also still have a small lump in my left leg- when it’s a small gout or maybe something else from the diet plan, I do not understand. although the important thing was the intense pain in the kidneys of mine, which got me to stop quickly.
I’m currently looking for the weight loss plan which works for me. Over the years, I’ve counted calories, done Weight Watchers (three times), just simple went hungry, and still haven’t found a lasting solution. I think reducing carbs was the right track I believe, but possibly not as severely or not for so long a period of time.
