Default Re: Ask buriedbeds about losing 200 lbs (very, very long)

Nice work...Atkins-style dieting is great if you actually eat clean. I've had so many friends that do a low/zero carb diet and just go nuts eating total garbage. They'll drop 30 lbs then blow up again. Eating clean with lots of protein and healthy fats is a fantastic way to lose weight.

Mad props on finding something that worked for you. Some folks are lucky enough to find out what works right away, others struggle and many give up. I have several friends who just cannot eat carbs...they watch me eat a piece of toast or some cereal and THEY gain 5 lbs. Low carb/carb cycling is the only thing that works for them and they are used to it now.

Eating healthy and training hard is a lifestyle, not a hobby. Integrate it into who you are and it becomes no more tedious than waking up in the morning.
