Life on the Atkins Diet

Approximately 3 years back, I tried the Atkins Diet for losing weight. The Atkins Diet is a very low carb, high protein regimen. I did lose weight about 60 pounds. I did not sense hungry in fact, the body of mine fully lost some appetite for food, including "mouth hunger" and "the munchies" from indulging in another poor practice of mine, that I gave up last year. Additionally, goketo gummies reviews [check over here] the acid reflux that had been plaguing me for a couple of years vanished after only a few months of following the diet.

I followed the diet plan to the letter, not cheating, running through the 2 week "induction" period, of really low carbohydrate consumption (almost NO carbohydrate intake, really), and tested my urine along with the keto sticks every morning, first things, to make sure I was maintaining ketosis. I got both the basic book about the diet and also the Atkins Cookbook, as well as learned how to make some delicious food. I in addition used the Atkins Shake mixes as well as canned shakes, for when I was at the office in the morning, and also had to gulp down a quick breakfast.
The fantastic thing was the weight came off exactly where I needed it off the most- in my tummy and abdomen. A lot of industry experts state that those who "carry" their excess weight of the belly tend to be more susceptible to Diabetes than those who are equally obese, but with an even division of unneeded poundage with the body. I was wearing clothes that I hadn't used in a few years.

I was on this "funky diet", as my disapproving doctor named it, for aproximatelly five weeks. I looked good and did not feel hungry. What stopped me from continuing was pain clear, intense pain in my kidneys that started suddenly one day. I found out that kidney failure would have been a hazard of following this diet plan. I stopped, and the pounds came back with a vengeance- probably gained more back that I had lost. Despite taking a multi vitamin and a number of other supplements every single day, I became deficient in certain phytonutrients, including Vitamin C. The last few weeks I was following the diet, I'd no immune system, as well as caught colds easily. I also still have a little lump in the left leg- of mine whether it's a little gout or maybe something else from the diet, I do not know. Though the important thing was the intense pain in my kidneys, which got me to stop immediately.
I'm still searching for the diet program that works for me. Over the years, I have counted calories, done Weight Watchers (three times), merely simple went hungry, yet still haven't discovered a permanent fix. I think restricting carbs was a suitable track I believe, but perhaps not as not or severely for so very long a length of time.
