I'm interesting in doing "Atkins" of sorts. I'm dying of sorts because I don't like to follow rules. I'm going to start low carbs, high proteins, moderate fat. This is sort of what is already recommended so idk why many ppl turn up their nose at "Atkins" IMO Atkins is not a "fad" since I know many people who have lost weight this way. I don't plan to follow rules to a T so I'm bit going to say I'm following this diet. My problem was always that when on this diet I was so hungry then last time after losing 15lbs I found out I was pregnant... Idk just looking for input

When I took the huge step of surgery I swore off "diets". I wanted to eat to live. So that's worked for me. I eat by the grand design of the research: protien, veg, fruit, complex carbs. I find that when I do this the numbers are already taken care of.

Everything I eat is paired with protein.

No more food obsessions.

No counting. Just logging for protein.

I'm so over food.

I drink my fluids.

I work out. I eat complex carbs before I work out and eat proteins within 20 minutes of finishing.

I don't maintain complicated. That was proven pre WLS. For me, this is not complicated. I trust it. It works for me.

i love this post on a friends blog. bear in mind, she was never morbidly obese, but did go from eating a sugar heavy, low fat, high carb, vegetarian diet to a mostly paleo, no processed foods diet over the course of seven years. she has been searching for "the answer." and was surprised at what she discovered. http://mamasweeds.com/2014/02/23/the-pendulum-and-why-i-broke-up-with-low-carb/
