Actually, nevermind about the kidneys, that isnt that much water. The pancreas for sure, because thats what I did.

I just briefly googled your point and could not find any reference to what I am doing and your pancreas problem.
Maybe you had another hidden issue that caused your illness. In actuality (what I read so far) weight gain makes your pancreas work harder.
I just bought some peppermint tea. Nice with crushed ice, instead of a soda.

I don't see any link to pancreas disease and Atkins, either, in fact a low carb diet is recommended for pancreatitis. :dunno
I would be okay with a "don't eat anything white" diet. But I think no carbs at all is a bit ridiculous. You can have sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, whole grain rice, pasta and bread instead of white rice, pasta, and bread, and so on. Use Splenda or Stevia instead of sugar in your coffee/tea. Get some exercise, watch your portions, and quit smoking.
If you must have a sweet snack, do not purchas a package of cookies. Go to RJ Goodies or whatever and buy one cookie. Don't buy a gallon of ice cream, go and have a cone at Marble Slab or whatever, or buy a pint.
Do not go to the grocery store when hungry.
Dang, I should tell my wife this. She feeds me white pasta all the time.

Heh, in high school, we used to lose 6lb in a day fairly often. Of course, we'd put it all back on with the first glass of water. :laugh2:

I find the low carb thing the easiest diet for a couple of reasons: 1) It keeps you away from garbage; 2) Protein fills me up faster. If I eat a 10 oz steak with some steamed vegetables, I am full. In contrast I could probable ueat like a pound and a half of pasta. So with a low-carb diet, I find it easier to eat healthy and consume less calories. People usually assume that a low carb diet means that you will be sitting around eating nothing but bacon, but really, I have found that I eat way more vegetables on a low carb diet. you just substitute your rice/potato/bread with your meal for salad/squash/eggplant
Mikezilla:
What I meant about the pancreas being burned out is when you stay on a nightmarish diet like that, and then you work out a lot. I guess the OP didnt really mention that he was working out a lot, just that he was doing this crazy diet. My mistake. I was working out like a beast, so thats what happened to me. I got ripped, but also got diabetes. And cause I was a fatty before too, but the working out really did my pancreas in.
