Hi everyone!
I posted on here a while ago, questioning whether to do atkins, never followed through and went running back off to calorie counting (which I've lost 7 and a half stone through doing)
Basically, nothing I do is helping me lose weight anymore where calorie counting is concerned, I go in fits and roundabouts of barely eating and binging, and after eating barely anything this week I'd like to stick to something where I can eat and I know I'll lose weight, so here I am
Soooo... I'd love to lose a couple of pounds before christmas (I'm not expecting miracles, just something would be amazing! ) I'm looking at this as a short term weight loss thing and then back to calorie counting to maintain. So was wondering...
(1) If I did Atkins induction phase for a couple of weeks would I lose weight after calorie counting? Basically, has anyone else switched from calorie counting to atkins??
(2) If I went back to calorie counting after atkins would I pile it back on or do you reckon I'd be fine because I'm still restricting my diet??
(3) Is there anything sweet you can eat on atkins??
(4) Am I allowed squash or should I just have plain water to sup??
(5) Basically, can I just eat as much as I like as long as I don't go over 20g of carbs a day??
(6) How come you're not allowed low fat things like margerine and mayonaise?? But you're allowed full fat?? (that one I'm reeeeeally confused on!! )
I've read the stickys here and people's diaries and I'm pretty clued up on how it works, what I'm allowed etc etc, but I'm just a bit confused whether it'd work as a short term thing to get rid of some weight and alongside calorie counting afterwards?
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated!!
Hope you're all well and having a good weekend!!
