Anybody ever do it? And how do you feel when off of processed foods and unnecessary sugars? And by that I mean a strict regiment of 15-20 or less per day for the first two weeks and then slowly introducing more (up to 50 carbs per day.)
It's been amazing for me. After you get past the first few days where you get the "low carb flu," where you feel fatigued and go through the body changes of the eliminated sugars and yeast and what have you, the feeling transforms into incredible. More energy, dropping lbs, better attitude, memory, better sleep.
I make sure to replenish the daily recommended intake of sodium and caffeine, and add in the needed vitamins.
Five weeks on it and I am down from 280 to 242. Fuckk processed, fast food, big chain, shittty foods. Stunning how depressed you feel/felt when eating that stuff.

Careful Driz, when Atkins passed away, his autopsy revealed multiple blockages. Watch "Forks Over Knives", still the #1 documentary sold on Amazon, 4+ years running. Provides a mountain of evidence, about how to avoid the multitude of chronic diseases; i.e. heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc. We all should die quietly in our sleep of pneumonia at 100+ years old.

I don't eat anywhere close to the amount of meat that guy put down. They improved the Atkins diet over the years to avoid that same fate. I call it a low carb diet because I do not follow even the new Atkins diet. I go along with some of the principles, but I am taking in nowhere near the saturated fat that those diets allow.
No matter what diet you have to carefully monitor what is and isn't going into your body, but I'd say the biggest thing to watch on low carb is sat fat. It's a fuckking bitchh to regulate but well worth it.

Are you exercising to go along with your new diet?
Good job, keep it up. Oatmeal, fruit (cantelope) brown rice and yams are a good source of carbs early in the day. Have to have carbs. Have to have some good carbs to keep your levels on.

Ton of exercise with it. I added a healthy amount of carbs back in, but the first two weeks were miserable strict. (first carbs introduced back- some beautiful, golden fresh bottles of beer )
First time the doctor ever told me I was doing something right.
But no doubt I would recommend consulting a doctor while doing it, because there are a lot of ways you can steer off track and ruin everything you worked for without even realizing it. A lot of people drop the weight and continue to cut a copious amount of carbs which will deplete your body and immune system of any solid nutrition. Body needs to burn off carbs for energy, and when there are no carbs to burn it goes to the fat. You don't have either, I imagine it becomes common sense as a result.
I'll say it again though, best move I've ever made. You'll never feel better if and when doing it right.

I have done it but it is hard as hell to stick to. Definitely a good way to lose weight but I'm not entirely convinced a lot of that isn't due to increased awareness of what you are eating and the scarcity of things you can eat.
Unfortunately once you go off it your bodily quickly balloons back to the previous weight and even a little more, but good luck sticking to it.

Been doing it since April 7th of 2014. I have had my weekend slip ups and holidays are always tough of course, but on a daily basis I avoid bread, pastas, liquid calories, and snacks (chips,candy etc). I know some vegetarians, and they aint healthy either, I dont care what any documentary says. I exercise at least 3 days a week for 2 hours (cadrio/weights) I'm stronger than Ive ever been and in better shape than Ive been in since I can remember. The Atkins diet isnt a cure all, but the science is easy. Your body uses carbs for fuel first and stores the rest. So, you eat a double cheesburger, fries and a coke and your body is set for fuel and will gladly store the excess on your midsection. Remove the fuel source and your body will take a few days and then retrain itself to use fat 1st as it no longer has the easy fuel supply. This isnt a lifelong diet, as fruits and veggies are a good thing, but this is meant to get your weight down fairly quickly. I put on a ton of weight in a couple years around my kid being born. Lots of lazy days and horrific eating (sunday football lunch : Large pizza, bag of doritos and a 2 liter of mt dew) Jesus...just ridiculous. Had to make a change for my little girl. She shouldnt have to go through life without a dad or with one thats too big to take her for a walk. My pride and will power beat the $hit out of my laziness.
I'm down 110 lbs and almost at my goal weight. Its gonna happen.

Nice job Drizzle., and everyone else that has gotten after the food and booze demon.
My weight blew up in my late 20's....housing market was booming, so in the restaurants I was cruising.
Always lifted weights heavy; figured I could eat what I wanted if I was lifting. Had a wake up call in Vegas after a seafood buffet binge...the suite at The Hotel had a scale in it....258 pounds!!!!! I played college baseball at 210lbs a few years earlier!!
So, that was it. Back home, introduced cardio and cut the breads, pastas, cereals out. Stopped eating out completely for a long time(drinking out ).
Lately, I have been doing Joe Rogan's "angry hulk loads" shakes. Tons of veggies.....kale, beets, celery, carrots, radishes, ginger root, garlic and some apple. they don't taste real great, but the energy is real, and chemistry in the gut is much improved. Also have been incorporating eating plain greek yogurt with no sugar, sauerkraut and kim-chee. The mental clarity is unbelievable...turns out that things like proper digestion and actual nutrients have an impact on the brain. Who knew?
Overall, it has worked....solid 224 lbs. Body composition is completely different (waist size is down 4 pant sizes) , and the strength is better than ever. Went from static weight training to interval training...that was huge.....I can get done in 45 hard minutes, what used to take me 2 hours!
Best of luck to everyone, and hopefully the effort will pay off for us all.

Hey guys, what are some of the foods/meals you are eating, while on this diet??
Breakfast:
Dymatize iso 100 protein with unsweetened almond or cashew milk
Ham & cheese omelettes, sausage, eggs any way
Lunch:
Meat - You pick Beef/chicken/fish
Dinner :
I eat a lot of spinach & chicken salads. There is a recipe for pizza on the web that uses canned chicken as the crust and its excellent.
My advice is to plan out your meals. This will help you avoid straying from the diet as you peer into the fridge or cabinet. Drink water. Drink lots of water. This diet will deydrate you as your kidneys are put into overdrive.
Once you get in a routine and make it past week 2, its pretty easy stuff.

I went low carb and it worked amazingly. Fruits, veggies, lean meats, nuts. Lot of soup and raw spinach.
I lost 25lbs in a month or two and I'm not even that fat just store it all in my gut. I did also do cardio an hour a day and lifted weights for a half hour daily and didn't have any beer or soda.
The less bread, pasta, sugar you have the better. I did notice I was hungry much more often. Lot of tea too.
I went from all bad habits to all good ones overnight. It's just discipline and motivation over anything. I did not notice any changes to my energy levels though.
