Did you gain weight after you stopped Atkins diet?

Asked by kelly8906 (340points) April 21st, 2011

For anyone that has been on the Atkins diet before- Did you find that once you lost the weight and came off of the diet that you gained the weight back? Although I want to be healthier overall, I wont do this forever…. I want to be able to drink milk, go out to dinner, eat pizza and mashed potatoes again eventually haha!——in moderation of course. LOL

I had 2 pregnancies literally back to back over the past two years. I’ve put on a good 50 pounds. I’m looking to lose 25 pounds total. I’ve only been on the Atkins diet for 2 days. I have not cheated and I won’t! But its hard to be limited to 20 net carbs a day…

My question is… once I get to the weight I’m happy with, can I add milk into my diet…. dinner outings here and there… pizza every so often, chick-fil-a then and again lol.. Basically stop the low carb thing and instead continue exercising and eating more sensibly? I know it sounds silly, but I miss my carbs and I’m only 2 days in and I KNOW this wont last more than a few months at most.
