Learn how to Lose Weight With Low Carbohydrate Dieting
Many people who have had trouble controlling their weight have been successful using the
low carbohydrate approach. No diet is for everyone but it is possible, even likely that
the Atkins diet will work for you.
This site attempts to collect and disseminate the basic information about what works, why
it works, and how to make it work for you.
A key to success with low-carbism is to understand how to do it and why it works. The
idea is simple:
This is a diet that you have to learn how to do. It takes a while to learn what
to eat, what not to eat and why. The concepts are simple enough and can be gone over in
an hours study. But it takes time to put the information into practice and personally
feel the effect this type of eating has on your appetite and your body.
Motivation
To someone that has been overweight for years, the idea that is actually possible to gain
control over ones weight may seem like an unachievable and unbelievable fantasy. I can
tell you from personal experience that these techniques can work. I was able to lose
about 50 pounds in 4 months using the diet and have kept most of it off for over 3 years
now. I lost weight so fast that people that had not seen me for a few months literally
did not recognize me right away. Even to me, my reflection in a mirror or store window
seemed to belong to someone else.
When you start to feel the diet working and feel first hand your hunger reduced, the
effect is so motivating. It feels like being let out of fat jail. There is a great
feeling of power and control over one's body.
After years of diet advice such as "eat less and exercise more", or "chew
your food 20 times a bite", finding something that actually works is amazing.
Attitudes Towards the Overweight
Many people, even those who are overweight, feel that overweight people are "lazy",
"stupid", and over eat because they are seeking the "pleasure of eating".
Someone who's body does not tend to gain weight can't understand that an
overweight person might eat because they are hungry. It is not easy to understand until
you have felt it, that one can feel full, fat, and hungry, all at the same time. It's
not a pleasant feeling. Again, it's a great discovery to realize you can control
your hunger and thus your weight by avoiding carbohydrates.
