Low Carb Diet Opinion[views:1753][posts:9]____________________________________ [Mar 24,2004 2:10pm - MyDeadDoll ""] So, I'm doing this low carb diet thing with my mom. I've been good so far. It kinda sucks, tho. I miss pasta already and candy. I've heard so many things about the low carb diets, good and bad. Has anyone else tried this or heard anthing that might be of interest? |

High Colestorol, heart problems.... remember you are eating more fatty foods, this is not a good thing... granted yoyr body starts burning the fat but it eats the good fat too.... I would not use this diet.... I am personaly in weight watchers and when i started last october i weighed 303, in 3 weeks i lost 22 lbs..... i went off the diet arond the holiday season and only gained 6 lbs back, I restarted the diet last monday and in one week lost the 6 pounds that i gained back.... on this diet you watch portion size, you can anything you want but all you have to do is count the points, its the easiest and safest way to go.... id recomend this to anyone..... remember you might not see results right away but w/ a diet you need to be persistant and dedicated.... good luck its a tough fight |

No matter what kind of diet you do, without some kind of cardiorespiratory activity you are not going to get the results you want. Walking, taking the stairs, these are all easy ways to incorporate some kind of activity into your daily life. Without your body adjusting it's metabolism to burn unwanted fat, your really not doing too much except just cutting back your intake. Input should equal output. Exercise helps whether you want to do it or not, it's good for your heart and the benefits are limitless. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 24,2004 3:24pm - MyDeadDoll ""] yeah, i think i'm calling it quits. i've been a little sick to my tummy for the past three days and poop should not be the consistency of water... right? i don't really need to lose a lot of weight. i'm basically just doing this for my mom since she talked me into it and all... which is a dumb reason for doing it. so yeah, thanks for all the opinions. |
