Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

OK! Tme to edit this thing because since I've been on DS, I have lost about 15 pounds!!! So, I will tell you what I've been doing. Healthy, balanced eating every 2 and a half hours in serving sizes and I do varied exercises from day to day... it's working!

Treatments

Atkins Diet Working / Worked

It worked, but it's a diet that's harsh on the kidneys. You get intense headaches at first, but they subside and eventually you're not dependent on carbs anymore (no hypoglycemia)...

Counting Calories Not Working

I find coutning calories doesn't work because basically your body adjusts to the lower amounts of calories you consume.

Dancing Somewhat Helpful

Any sort of exercise is good. I just like to dance.

Eating Healthier Foods Not Working

I ate strictly vegan and nothing happened. I started eating like that to clean out my body and it gave me increased energy. I did not lose weight from it.

Physical Exercise Working / Worked

I find that working out just makes you feel good and when you do it in combination with any diet, it helps you to lose weight, and makes your body look shapier (not flabby).

Close Phobia

I have had a long time fear of sharks. Use to be a phobia but I have steadily progressed-- from being able to see them on TV, to swimming alone in a pool (that is how irrational my fear was), to actually being surrounded by them in an aquarium (a tunnel). I decided to add this group to let people know that you can get passed your phobia.
