If you look at the response videos of the last Boot Camp, you will find a number of highly motivated recruits. I have sent the Getting Started packet to all of them, and as long as they complete it by Monday. They are in the camp. There are already a few replacements waiting in the wings in case a couple fall through, so three weeks from now we should have bunch of inaugural boot camp graduates.

Number one rule of Boot Camp – “what happens in boot camp stays in Boot Camp,” so this may be the last video I produce for three weeks. My support to other non-boot camp members may also be limited in the next three weeks as well.

My freind and I were talking today and I told her that I really dont like meat all that much, I made the joke that if I could do a "reverse adkins diet" I would love it, she said she had heard that if you cut the meat out of your diet you could lose weight. Is that true?

I know people hate to hear it, but if you eat right and exercise, you'll lose weight. It's the only real way it's going to work, so just skip all the other.

By eating right, I don't mean cut out everything that's remotely "bad" and hope it works out. Just try to limit the bad, but don't be afraid to eat it every once in a while. Moderation is the key. It's really not that hard.

In the this video of the “Atkins Diet Quick Hits” series, I comment on a question I got from a well-meaning low carber. His question was on the amount of what he was eating. I took his question and ran with it though to a different topic. Starvation mode dieting is never good, and similar is zero carb dieting. I am pretty convinced that for most people going zero carb is an unnecessary step. Sure there are some very metabolically resistant and / or people suffering with hyperinsulinemia. For …

In my opinion, no. Carbohydrates, as a group, can and should be a part of a healthy, balanced diet. The question is, what KIND of carbohydrates. Eat a balanced diet with ALL of the food groups in their proper proportions and you will feel and be healthy. Whole grain carbohydrates like 12 grain bread, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, etc. Read labels and always go for products made with whole grains.

In addition, most people I know who have gone on the Atkins diet have lost weight, but since it is very difficult to eat a no or low carb diet for your entire life, as soon as they “go off” the diet, they gain the weight back, more quickly than they lost it.

IT is better to change the way you eat forever. When you’re trying to lose weight, of course your calories are more restricted, but even when you are just maintaining, you need to eat the proper foods and avoid transfats and fried food and low fiber breads, etc.

Staying on a low-carb diet doesn’t have to be hard. If you’d like to reenergize and reinvigorate your Carbohydrate Addict’s, Adkins, South Beach, or other low-carb diet, here’s your chance to get excited all over again with a plan that’s easy to follow-never boring or restrictive-and that will have

In another of Atkins Diet Misconception series, I deal with the question of kidney stones or “does the Atkins Diet impair kidney function?” First, if you have damaged kidney function already due to Chronic Kidney Disease, Metabolic disorder, or impaired kidney function, it is recommended that you do not try the Atkins Diet. There is sizable water intake on this diet, and you should follow your doctor’s orders. For everyone else, it has been proved more than once that high protein (or medium …

I did the Adkins Diet 2.5 years ago. One of the side effects was muscule cramps. Even today I get these cramps. Before Adkins I never had this problem. Today I am on normal, balanced diet. Did I damage my body with Adkins?

you need carbs to keep your brain functioning. correct carbs. you also need to have some fats in your diet.

i'm a hairstylist and had a client a few years ago who had lost a lot of weight on adkins diet – however her hair went prematurely grey, started to fall out , and would not hold color for more than 2-3 weeks. she slept all the time (always tired) and her kids said,' since mom's gotten thin she's a B*TCH'.

now she lives by adkins every other to every 3 days. still the same so i don't know if permanent damage was done or not, but she prefers it to being thicker

My freind and I were talking today and I told her that I really dont like meat all that much, I made the joke that if I could do a "reverse adkins diet" I would love it, she said she had heard that if you cut the meat out of your diet you could lose weight. Is that true?

I don't think that is true. It seems to be that carbohydrates are what make people fat.

aka “Temptation, Visualization, Success… Oh My! (Part 2)” This video is the second in the Temptation Resistance series. Accountability is probably one of the most helpful suggestions I have for new dieters. Being accountable to oneself and to others absolutely helps fight the temptations. I was so much less likely to go offplan when I knew others were also around me looking for what a low carber really ate. So rather than being a negative, the cynics, which I readily admit I was at one …
