Diets really are bad for your body. Besides, they don't work well in keeping the weight off. Your body will be ready to gain weight after you stop the diet because you stressed it out.

Lets just say I'm real overweight, and even if I managed to speed the rate of my weight loss up a little bit, it would still take at least 8 years to get down to a good weight.

I have seen some things you have posted but that above statement is just  :censored: crap.  Get your head out of the sand - get on Induction, exercise, stick to it, and commit yourself to the very difficult challenge.  It sucks the first 6 weeks  :laugh2:  but you will get over it.

Umm, perhaps you missed my post just before that one where I said I was going to be doing Atkins (or some other diet) fairly soon.  My comment about it taking 8 years was in response to patrickl saying to keep doing what I'm doing (and perhaps eat slightly less or add a little more exercise to my routine) instead of going on a more extreme diet.  Right now I am very slowly losing weight, and if I managed to keep this same rate going, then it would take over 8 years to get to a good weight.  That is why I will be doing Atkins (or something similar) in order to get the weight off in only a year or so.

Yeah that's what made me comment like I did. 

One minute you are going to be on a good habit diet, and the next you are overweight and 8 years later won't.

Anyhoo it is still great lesson on how anyone can benefit from Atkins, especially from a true disbeliever to a convert like me.  ;D

Its a message anyone in the same situation can relate to, especially if they have nobody to encourage them.

Besides I will be periodically checking in on you to see how your progress is going.  :cheers:

I don't seem to understand what your saying then.  I basically said not being on a real diet was too slow of a weight loss, so I was going to go on Atkins.  You then said that was  :censored: because with Atkins I would lose the weight quickly, even though that's pretty much exctly what I was saying in the first place.

One minute I am overweight, but I'm eating heathy enough to slowly lose weight (15lbs was the total I've lost since January, as I mentioned), and the next I'm still overweight and it will take 8 years to lose the weight if I continue with my current rate of weight loss.  I want to lose weight faster then 25lbs a year, so I'm going to go on an actual diet to lose it quickly.  I'm not sure why this is difficult to understand.

I've done the Atkins diet before (as I briefly mentioned earlier), but I didn't keep the weight off, so this time I wanted to make sure the habits I would revert to after finishing the diet were good enough that I would keep the weight off.

Yes I know.  That bit in the thread was confusing, unless you are making your point posting, in Tarantino style.  :-\

Would be truly surprised if you can undo a lifetime of bad decisions in a month.

I smoked most of my youth and adult life until 3 years ago when I quit cold turkey.  $20 Steak next year... hmmm.

I like the meat part of the diet, but my tummy doesn't like the beef all the time, so i just eat chicken and lamb.  I would eat pork, but I'm distancing myself from it.  Someone told me pork is not really good for you.  Hopefully by next summer I'll have my brick BBQ built.  Thanks!  :cheers:
