Off Atkins

[avram]

OK, I’m off Atkins. For now. This run was a proof-of-concept, and with fourteen pounds lost in eleven days, without even exercising, I consider the concept pretty damn well proven.

Step 2: I find out how quickly it comes back when I go off.

December is a silly time to be trying to lose weight; I’m officially Not Worrying About It till 2004.

Fruit! Sweet Gaia, I can eat fruit again!

My experience is that weight I lost with Atkins years ago came back farily quickly, and the experience left me significantly more vulnerable to blood sugar troughs than I had been before I went on the diet. If it works for you as a way of life, then great. But if it's something you have to go on and off (say, because you can't stand to avoid fruit) then I'd think seriously about a different wieght amanagement regime.

BTW, do you know if MH is going to be at CUGC tomorrow? There's an article from Tikkun I want to give her, and if she's there I'll probably make the trek into the city in part for that reason.

I’m pretty sure she won’t be. She’s going away this weekend.
