The Atkins Diet Won't Work...You'll Gain it All Right Back!
Hi! I'm Janet Simmons. I'm a 35 year old wife and mother of 2 great kids! I created this web page to tell you about my experience with a program that changed my life. I'm hoping it'll change yours too!
The bottom line is that the Atkins Diet doesn't work. Hopefully you found my site before you started wasting time and money on something that won't work!
"Fat Loss For Idiots" got me off the roller coaster of the Atkins diet. With the Atkins diet I would read the book, buy only the foods I could eat for the first 2 weeks, still have to make my family their own meals and by day 3 I just couldn't do it. I was serving well balanced meals to my family and I couldn't eat most of the foods I made. I had to give up fruits and vegitables! I wanted a piece of fruit!! Even my kids asked "what kind of diet takes away fruits & veggies?" I was miserable.
Finally, I found this program, lost the weight and have kept it off. No more deprivation, no more yo-yo dieting.
Give this program a try before signing up for the Atkins program. There's no risk to try it, you pay a one time fee and get started online right away. If for some reason you don't like it (But you will!) you can get a refund.
My Atkins Diet experiences have been mixed. I've gone through periods where I've lost some weight, only to gain it 
back. I've gone through times where I've started strong, but then got tired of the limited menu and ate "something forbidden" which negates any progress I had made. The lists of approved foods and foods to stay away from must be strictly followed. I was so sick of cheese and eggs I could scream!!
The more I learn about the correct way to eat, the more I understand why the Atkins Diet doesn't work.
If you're removing foods from your diet, you're not learning how to eat balanced meals. The first 2 weeks are impossible to follow unless you stay home. You can't eat out, go to someone's home for dinner or stray from the food list. Any little mistake and you've sabotaged any progress. There are phases and lists and it is very confusing what is acceptable and when!
I think that the secret is NOT to go on any diet...but to learn how to eat. Believe me, you can do it, AND be happy with what you're eating and even the amount!
Once I got on the right track, I lost the weight. No kidding, I lost 45 pounds in 60 days! I feel fabulous and I've kept it off without being "on a diet". Like any mom with kids, we know how to discipline them...but we can't discipline ourselves when it comes to dieting. You don't have to "sneak" or "cheat" on this program and you can put that money that you wold have spent online to better use. With "Fat Loss For Idiots", I don't pay for it every week, I don't feel like I'm on a diet, and I don't have to deprive myself of certain food groups. I just learned great strategies for how to eat, lose weight, and keep it off. The "Fat Loss For Idiots" plan is what got me to this point. I wish they'd change the name, but it really is a simple program for everyone.
"Fat Loss For Idiots" isn't a fad diet, or pre-packaged meals, or any kind of pill or supplement. It's a diet plan that can help change the way you eat. I actually eat more now...and don't gain the weight. It's not magic or anything, but the scientific fact is that you have to feed your body to keep it burning fat. You have to eat the right kind of foods at the right times. None of this is talked about at all with the Atkins Diet.
I've also tried some of the other diets:
I tried Weight Watchers. I joined, paid a lot of money each week, counted my points, missed some meetings (which I still had to pay for even though I didn't go) lost some weight, stopped going and gained it back. I would save my points and basically starve myself so I could go out to eat or use my points for pizza and beer. I wasn't learning how to eat, I just wasn't eating because I would need my "points" for an evening with friends or lasagne with my family!
I tried the South Beach Diet. I did lose some weight, but I couldn't stick with it. I was miserable. I gained it back. Really all I lost was a lot of water weight. It was a complete waste of my time. Time I could've spent on a better plan that would've actually gotten me to lose real weight.
I tried the pre-packaged meal plans. They will make you lose weight. However, you just can't make the switch to "real food". The portions are so tightly controlled and the calories are so measured, that you just can't stay on that kind of diet unless someone is making the food and delivering it right to you. What do you do if you're traveling, or no longer want that expense? What about dinners out ? How about having dinner at someone's house...will you bring your own meal? I just couldn't stay on it.
You know what ? And...I'm sure you already really know this. I really searched for that one secret, but I knew the answer all the time...The only way to get weight loss and to keep it off, is to :
Change the way you eat for the rest of your life
Get regular aerobic or cardio exercise
Get regular weight training exercise
I just needed some help. I found it with Fat Loss For Idiots. This program really is idiot proof. It teaches you how and when to eat in order to turn your body into a fat burning furnace. You'll eat real food, eat 4-6 times per day, and NEVER feel hungry. I'm not suggesting this is an eat anything you like, as much as you like plan...but it really is almost effortless, and the results are amazing. You'll change your eating habits for life without even really trying. That, combined with my cardio and weight training plans worked for me. I've been doing it now for years. I guess I never really went on a "diet". I just changed the way I ate and exercised properly.
It worked so well, that my husband tried it and he lost the 9 pounds in 11 days just like they said he would! Now that he has reached his goal weight he was able to modify the plan to maintain his weight. It's changed our lives...I hope it changes yours. Best of luck, and contact us and let us know about your success!!
