The Atkins Diet – I’m Doing It Wrong!

When I started doing the Atkins diet, I jumped in with both feet. My interest in losing weight, as quickly as it was safe to do it, was a big focus. I never actually read the Atkins book. Since then, I have skimmed over some of it. It turns out that I am not doing this diet exactly right. Once I commit to a particular goal, I give it everything I’ve got. While I sometimes do a little bit of research before I make the decision to embark on a potentially life changing journey, this is not often the case. … Continue reading →

Forming a Weight Loss Support Group

Yes, I am skeptical. I did agree that mindless holiday munching would pack on pounds yet there are enough forkfuls of food out there to gain the same amount of weight. That is simply my opinion.

When to Eat What: Eat the Right Foods at the Right Time for Maximum Weight Loss! By: Heidi Reichenberger McIndoo, MS, RD, LDN You can purchase this book for approximately $9.99 to $12.99 at your favorite book seller. My rating: 3.5 out of 5 carrot sticks Let me start out by saying that diet books are not my choice of literature.
