Motley Health's Fitness and Weight Loss Community

This week I have managed to lose another kilo (2.2046 pounds). Weight loss is slow and steady. I think that I have done really well this week as I suffered from a throat infection, which was then followed by a virus that gave me really bad headaches, which was then followed by me feeling run down. So I have not done any exercise for over a week now, but have still lost another kilo.

Really the weight loss can only be attributed to the ongoing phase of Atkins, as I am still avoiding refined carbs and sugars where I can. Now eating more carbs, but trying to limit that to fruits and vegetables, mainly in stews and soups.

Have eaten some white bread and some potatoes, as we had no other food in the house. But mostly avoiding those danger foods.

Read more of the Atkin's Diet revolution book today, and interesting to learn more of the role of a low carb diet in preventing type 2 diabetes. Really it seems quite shocking that government health bodies continue to promote low fat diets as a way to lose weight when they have been shown to cause obesity and diabetes.

Dr. Atkin's says in his book that his next plan was to tackle the diabetes crisis, by promoting more healthy low carb eating. However I think that he passed away before he published a book, so maybe Motley Health will attempt to take up the reins on this, and start a anti diabetes campaign.
