Jackie is arguably the world’s foremost authority on the Atkins low-carb lifestyle spending nearly three decades of her life working with patients of the late, great Dr. Atkins.
Here are some of the questions that we addressed in this episode:
BARBARA ASKS:
Weird question: I’ve been low-carbing for almost a year and have had good success. Lost 30 lbs. and kept it off for the first time in my life. I’ve hit stalls, but never gained weight steadily other than a day here and there that I chalked up to fluid retention or whatever. But now I’m gaining weight every day, and the only thing that’s different is that I’ve been sick and taking antibiotics. I always think of sickness causing weight loss, not gain. I can’t stop taking the antibiotics, since out-of-control cellulitis would obviously be WAY worse than gaining a few pounds. So can illness or medication cause this on a low-carb diet?
JENNY ASKS:
I only recently found low-carb in 2011 and didn’t raise my children how to eat well. How can I make sure my son going off to college eats healthy?
STEVE ASKS:
Is there a “set” point for weight that is difficult to overcome?Are there vitamins/supplements that can accelerate weight loss?
LINDA ASKS:
I’m a 60 year old menopausal woman who’s lost 104 pounds. With 60 more pounds to lose, my weight loss has definitely slowed to a crawl. I used to lose 8 pounds a month, now it’s like 2-3 pounds monthly. What can I do to “rev” it up?
MINDY ASKS:
Jackie, what advice do you have for us ladies in our 40′s and 50′s who are faithfully low-carb but reach that weight that we just can’t get past? Is it time to adjust our expectations or do you suggest other tweaks to the program? Do you suggest seeking out hormone interventions?
MARY ASKS:
What advice do you have for long-term low-carbers who’ve hit a long term plateau? Would you recommend the Atkins “Fat Fast” or some other such method to break a stall?
DON ASKS:
What is your opinion on the so-called “one golden shot” with the Atkins diet where it only works once and then never again? Do you believe that if you regain weight lost on a low-carb regimen that low-carb living becomes less effective in subsequent re-starts?
