    I think a couple …
    I think a couple people at my church did it for a while, but I don’t personally know anything about it, sorry.

  2. jterry316 Diyor ki :

    Have you heard of …
    Have you heard of the Maker’s Diet by Jordan Rubin? If so, what’s your opinion?

  3. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    I think she’s …
    I think she’s talking about going on it AFTER she has the baby (at least I hope she is).

    While I agree that any of the weight loss phases are not appropriate while pregnant, I see no reason why the maintenance phase would be wrong.

    hey pregnant girl …
    hey pregnant girl its dangerous to go on atkins while your pregnant.

  5. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    Just eat healthy …
    Just eat healthy and remember you are NOT eating for two people. :)

  6. xxdarkwolfgrrlxx Diyor ki :

    okay thank you, its …
    okay thank you, its been about a month, so I am getting pretty big. I hope I am not that big after the baby is born.

  7. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    Yes, it can help …
    Yes, it can help with baby weight. :) It’s quite healthy, just make sure to read the book and get most of your carbs from vegetables and non-sweet fruits. :)

  8. xxdarkwolfgrrlxx Diyor ki :

    Do you think this …
    Do you think this diet would work to get rid of baby weight? Because I heard that this diet is actually one of the healthiest diets you could do.

  9. truevoiceofsanity Diyor ki :

    I believe it; its …
    I believe it; its common problem.

    :D.

    good luck on the meds

  10. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    Believe it or not, …
    Believe it or not, I recently got diagnosed as hypothyriod, lol. I see my doc tomorrow and hope to go on medication for it. My thyroid numbers were way off and more testing showed the extent of the problem. Hopefully those meds will help me lose the last 5 pounds I’m still battling.

  11. truevoiceofsanity Diyor ki :

    dont worry thats …
    dont worry thats clear.

    I’ve heard of some conditions like that. Some ppl for example have thyroid gland problems.

  12. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    I probably eat less …
    I probably eat less carbs than a low-GI diet, but I do try to make most of my carbs low-GI.

    Just to claify - I don’t have a medical condition that makes me hungry. I take a medication FOR the condition and the med makes me hungry. :) Hence why I needed to go low-fat - so I could eat more calories (carbs and protein have less calories per gram than fat).

  13. truevoiceofsanity Diyor ki :

    Its interesting you …
    Its interesting you have a certain medical condition making your hungry. I thought main idea of Atkins (also of G.I. Diet and others) was to keep insulin levels low.

    Your diet above might actually turn out to be simular to G.I. one.
    :D

  14. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    Let me retry that …
    Let me retry that last sentence,lol. I meant to say:

    Fat fills a lot of people up (keeps them full for a long time), but I have medical issues (a certain medication I take) that makes me hungry all the time so that fat does not fill me up.

  15. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    I’m no longer on …
    I’m no longer on strict Atkins, as I’ve said in other videos. While eating more fat was fine on my cholesterol levels, I finally had to go low-fat due to calories. So my current diet is low-fat, moderate-carb (just barely above the higher end that Atkins recommends), and high-protein.

    This is the best I could work out to stay within my calorie allotment, get enough to eat, and have energy for my runs. Fat fill a lot of people us, but I have medical issues so that fat does not fill me up.

  16. truevoiceofsanity Diyor ki :

    For record, you’ve …
    For record, you’ve given me pause for thought.

    Hope it keeps healthy for you and works.

    How long you’ve been on this diet with better results? Its all great. I’m skeptical because alot of people take advantage of dieting people. I will try read your reference :D.

  17. CynaraJane Diyor ki :

    If one hasn’t read …
    If one hasn’t read the book, and if one hasn’t tried this way of eating, one would be remiss to try to criticize low carb eating.

    This is a very safe way of eating, and extremely healthy.

    I agree with you on all counts, newbirth35!

  18. areswarren Diyor ki :

    Christopher …
    Christopher Gardiner of Stanford University did a study of the popular diets. He was surprised as you will be to see that Atkins was best in terms of weight loss and better health.

    search: stanford gardiner atkins

    It’s well worth viewing.

  19. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    Here’s another …
    Here’s another study I came across just today. Take out the spaces:

  20. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    My bloodwork/ …
    My bloodwork/cholesterol, etc. are fine, so my doctor is quite happy. :)

  21. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    I referenced some …
    I referenced some studies in my reply to you below.

    I am no longer on strict Atkins. I found I had to reduce my fat intake to reduce my calories (my bloodwork was fine but my calories were too high). I currently eat just over the maximum Dr. Atkins allows in his book. He recommends no more than 90 net grams and I eat 100-120g a day, but I am also very active and exercise every day. I just try to keep my protein high for my weight training. :)

  22. truevoiceofsanity Diyor ki :

    If you have links …
    If you have links to studies on Atkins by researchers not affialited with his institute, I’d be interested. I skeptical but that does not mean I can’t be convinced.

    For the record, how long have you been on the diet. What phase on you in

  23. truevoiceofsanity Diyor ki :

    Um. bought the book …
    Um. bought the book and am now “reading” it.

    Would love to see some INDEPENDENT research on it. His diet has been around since 1972, so if its good, where are the independent medical studies showing this. For the record, I’m genuinely interested. I know a girl who is worried about her weight but I love her, point blank.

    What was your doctor’s opinion on the diet?

  24. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    No, he died from …
    No, he died from slipping on the ice during a late spring snowstorm. He hit his head and died a week later in the hospital from massive brain swelling.

  25. newbirth35 Diyor ki :

    Um…try reading …
    Um…try reading the book. You get plenty of fiber on Atkins. And my blood test results prove it’s healthy. Cholesterol and everything else were great.
