    Great news, since I started I weighed 456 and now I am down 13 pounds, still fat, but weigh 443. I can see a definite change. When I am sitting in my car, my steering wheel isn't all the way up, my pants keep falling down even with a belt and my skin has regained its color. I have for the most part stayed away from sweets. My favorite sweets was Jelly Beans and I haven't had one in weeks. It's great. I am noticing that my body demands less and less food. I may be hungry, but I don't get the insulin drop that I once did. Before when I got hungry, I had hunger pains along with irritability and lightheaded and the shakes. Now I have none of those symptoms except for hunger pains and irritability when I am in the car or truck. lol The doctors are all amazed by my results and when I am done with this journey, I will try and post before and after shots of what I look like.

    Good on you.

    Drop the soda if you drink it - that's a good one to get rid of.

    Good for you bro, those jelly beans are deadly to the waistline. At first you're gonna lose just water and the fat store will follow. As you slim your body will get used to the new mode of eating. It's an uphill struggle at times. But your stomach will shrink as time moves on. Sometimes you just need sheer willpower to overcome the pangs.
    If you can get over your body trying to convince you that it's hungry then you will be ok. You didn't put the weight on in a short period of time so in turn it's going to take awhile for your body to slim down. And as you've noticed your energy level will increase.
    If you can resist all kinds of carbs, then your body will go into ketosis, and that's a good thing. The liver will have no option when it can't find any carbs to convert to glucose, it will have to go into your fat store to complete the process.
    That's how an Atkins style diet works. Good luck and keep up the good work.

    Very true, I lost a considerable amount of weight when I cut everything out and started drinking nothing but water. Been doing this for 5 years now and dont miss any of it.
