Atkins Diet: Temptation, Visualization, Success… Oh My!
or What does goal mean to you? Discovering how to resist temptation will be required feat in any diet, but forunately Atkins Diet and ketosis actually gives the dieter the upper hand for the first time in my life. I detail how I resisted temptation: * Visualization of what goal means to you * Planning and Preparing for stressful or likely problem situations * Accountability
@mamasuify I needed that reminder on why I wanted to lose weight when temptation came calling. It gave me the concrete this or that — which do I want more. Thanks for watching!

@barbara4u850 Check out my “Low Carb 3 minute Chocolate Cake ” recipe posted here. It is even Induction friendly.
I have been on this diet since July 26th and I WANT A BROWNIE! do you know of a low carb brownie recipe? email it to me barbarnold26@yahoo.com
Think of it this way… The town where I work has a gymnastic star named Shawn Johnson, and the place where I lift has a couple degree black belts who teach TaeKwonDo. Do these people have animosity towards others for their inability to do things that Shawn or black belt can do? Likely not.
Those are extreme examples but demonstrates my point. We each are called to do what we can with what we have been given. I will never run a 2:45 marathon, but I will continue to drive to beat 4:00.
It’s the same reason I expected A’s for my and A’s and B’s for my kids’ report cards. Or the same reason I expect to pass every certification exam I take? If you don’t expect that level of performance (that you know you are capable of performing), how are you going to obtain it? Should I have been less motivated to give my kids the dad they deserve or a dad that would live past 45?
For others, how they perform whether in school, on exams, or in weight loss is a personal matter for them.
Your eyes and eyebrows are very expressive–lol…I think the same is true of me and it drives me nuts sometimes!
Whyare you so hard on that fat guy you once were? Are other fat people ok and it’s just YOU that you harbor such derision toward? Just curious…
I hear you about those difficult situations. Here’s what I would do. I would take my food with me — like beef sticks or pepperoni, cheese, pre-made salads, etc. If she won’t have acceptable foods, that’s all that’s left.
Say you were a vegetarian or Jewish and had those dietary restrictions, you would be forced to do the same thing. Induction is only temporary, but it also starts you on the right foot. These situations always arise, and we just need to rise to challenge.
i have a dilemma. so im on day 2 of induction and im plannig on looking fit in a two piece for my friends party. she is having people stay in a hotel in the poconos for the weekend and this will be during my induction. i asked her what kind of food she will b serving…. its all going to b carbs…. what do i do?!
Went another 1/3 of a mile while watching this one…being at goal mean no more muffin top or stubborn belly fat. Great video!
That is unique and admirable goal. I am sure you’ll achieve it as you keep working your plan.
This is a GREAT video. Great truths, great psychology. My goal is to play badminton!
Hey Kent another great video. I try to watch one of your videos a day kinda like a diet check in…it keeps me on track. Day 7 on induction I was feeling a little tempted today so I thought this video would help! It did. TY Rebecca
There is no reason to lose any muscle on Atkins. You are eating a moderate protein diet which should be enough to promote muscle repair and fueling your workouts with the fat in your diet to prevent cannibalization. It should actually be protective of muscle tissues.
I prefer to do a single diet or way of eating that is more likely to be able to be done long term. For me, the carb up days would last longer if I constantly reawoke sugar cravings. Now the foods I love are Atkins legal!
hey man you should promote CKD rather than atkins. Cyclical Ketogenic Diet, it’s where one would have a “carb- up ” phase once a week or once every 2 weeks which would allow a refeed for the muscles.. which basically allows you to keep your muscles while you drop your bodyfat. muscles are key when it comes to your metabolism, which keeps you thin ! most lose alot of muscles on atkins.. , and with CKD you dont get cravings because your “carb-up” days allow you to eat the foods you love ^__^ !
Depends on the length time you eat high carb. If it’s one meal or a even a day, you probably would be ok with weight. You might reawaken cravings. Longer than that you risk adding a lot of extra weight back on.
hey what happens if i start eating alot of carbs after not eating them for a month or so, will i put on weight straight away?
You might want to check out my “Atkins Diet: high protein or high fat diet” video, and you might be surprised at what Atkins and my stance on protein is. 30% ratio is in line with where Atkins states one should be at during Induction.
For me, it depends on the body needs. If you are exercising more and muscle need repair, your ratio should be a bit higher than someone who does not. Still the ratios are roughly correct -65% Fat,30% Protein, 5% Carbs for Induction with Carbs increasing later.
Hi, Stallone’s Book on Diet is one great Book. I just don’t think you would like to read what Stallone says about protein. Stallone recommends maximum 30% from protein. I don’t know how much Atkin’s recommend. Stallone probably tried high protein / low carb and high carb / low protein.
I only read a few pages, because I were reading this at the bookstore. He is one great guy. Stallone rocks.
He is 60+ and still looks great. That is rare.
I am glad you found ‘Atkins’. The best of luck
You are very welcome. I am just glad to be a part of others journey to weight loss success.
I am so happy you are out there with so many helpful things for us low-carbers. Thank you so much for all your work!
You are very welcome. Planning is such a key thing for me, and I am glad you found it helpful.
Thank you, I found this very helpful!!!
IF you are talking about actual physical boot camps, then no not that I know of.
AtkinsDietBulletinBoard forums did have a number of Atkins Boot Camps which had the recruits in an focused environment. Other websites might also be doing the same thing from time to time. I was a drill sergeant at these boot camps for number of camps and found it a great experience.
