So things are still doing well. I have to say that this diet is certainly easy if you like meat and don't miss bread too much. I would say the one thing that I miss the most is soda, especially Mountain Dew. Before I started this Atkins diet weight loss program, I drank probably a 44 oz worth of MD a day. Probably more some days. I really think that even though I was going after the effects of the caffeine, and my body's need for the sugar, the net result was being more tired and fatigued.
The funny thing is I think I grew a pretty big tolerance to the Mountain Dew. For a stretch there I could drink a 44 oz Mountain Dew right before bed time and still sleep no problem. Problem? I think so.
So giving up soda is so hard. I am sure that those types of drinks are the big reason why most people fail with diets, be it the Atkins Diet or otherwise. They are so good, and so darn addictive. They really are! Don't fake yourself, if something gives you a bad headache after you try to stop drinking it, that tells me that your body is now craving it. Sounds like addiction to me.
Any way on a progress note:
I am now weighing 322. So that's 4 lbs from yesterday. I am not saying I have lost 4 lbs of in one day, its probably water weight. Either way that's a step in the right direction. I was very good to stay away from the yummy cookies that my wife made. Yeah for me. Personal Victory!!
