How Do I Get Back on Track with the Kimkins Diet?

July 9th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

After recovering from my scare with the scale and realizing that I really had only “gained” a couple of pounds (which I suspected was water weight), I decided to get serious again using the Kimkins Diet Plan and see if I couldn’t just power down past the 200 mark and earn my next prize.

I decided that the best way to do that was to do Kimmer Experiment, which is stricter than the regular Kimkins Diet regimen, but it does work faster. I did really well that first week and in fact weighed in under 200 pounds on July 1st. In the Kimkins world they call that being in “ONEderland”.

My usual routine included lots and lots of water and plain lean protein. I like turkey burgers and salmon so I had lots of meals that consisted of just those. I also like mustard and found some Jack Daniels Mustard that is really good with zero carbs. I wasn’t hungry and was so busy catching up at work and home from being gone, the pounds just fell off. Believe it or not, I lost almost seven in just five days.

Prior to my trip I had set a goal to be under 200 (before leaving on the trip) and I was killing myself to get there. I even resorted to fasting a couple of days here and there to hit some minor goals on the way down. But in the end, I just decided to go back to the regular Kimkins Diet and see what happens.

A Real Test for the Kimkins Diet Plan

I just got back from a week in Miami with my husband shopping for building materials for our new house (how exciting - NOT!). I took advantage of the opportunity to pick up some new clothes because I have moved into uncharted territory (at least for the last 18 years) and have gone through all of my wardrobe sizes I had stashed away for “thinner” days. What a great excuse for going clothes shopping!

But this trip tested my resolve to stay on my Kimkins diet, especially with eating out for every meal. The challenge was to find and stick with all low carbohydrate foods at the restaurants we visited. Well, it was actually easier than I thought. At times, I had to be a little creative and request that they eliminate this or add a portion of that. The only potential problem I saw was that a lot of the food was high in sodium - lots of salt. But in the end, I feel that I pretty much stuck with the diet and didn’t stray to sugary deserts or mega-carb dishes.

Obviously, the proof would be facing me on the read-out on my trusty scale. I stepped on the scale in the morning and what a surprise - I had gained 8 pounds in only 6 days - what a shock! And what a bummer.

When I told my husband about the gain he told me that he had tried the scale earlier that morning and had a crazy reading and thought that it may be time to change the batteries in the scale. Were my prayers answered? I got back on the scale and breathed a major sigh of relief (after getting on and off the scale two more times). I had picked up only 2.5 pounds and I suspected that it was basically water retention due to all the salty food. We will see over the next few days.

So, I survived a real test of my diet commitment and the Kimkins diet plan won out. All the support I received from the forum and the Kimkins website obviously played a major role in this “test”. I am proud of myself for sticking to the diet and am even more committed to reaching my weight goal.

I’ll let you know if that 2.5 pounds comes off as easily as it went on - let’s hope so!

Welcome to the Low Carb “Magic” Blog

I would like to welcome you to the Low Carb Magic blog where I will be posting my personal experiences with off line and on line weight loss programs. I am the proverbial weight loss junkie who can’t seem to lose weight consistently or manage to keep it off once I lose it. I know that there are thousands, if not millions, of other women who are facing the same dilemma with weight loss.

Trust me; I have tried all the popular diet plans; the Atkins diet, South Beach Diet, Weight Watchers, and the list goes on. I have searched high and low for the best diet programs and products, and believe that the low carb diet is one of the most effective quick weight loss plans. I am afraid that the slower, drawn out diet plans provide too many opportunities to “fall off the wagon” and once frustration sets in due to slow weight loss gains, it’s all over!

I am presently on the Kimkins low carbohydrate diet and will share my progress and feelings about the effectiveness of this weight loss plan. I have even added a few of my own modifications that seem to help me get over the rough spots or break through the weight loss plateaus that most of us encounter.

So, if you have been wondering if a high protein and low carbohydrate diet works, why not bookmark our blog and come back often to watch my progress and get the latest tips and tribulations on low carb dieting.

And please don’t feel shy about adding your comments to any of my posts. I do welcome all suggestions and feedback that would be of interest to the other readers. The more participation and low carb diet information we have, the more useful everyone will find the blog. And who knows, we may even lose a few pounds together along the way!
Hope to see you back soon!
