Well, first off, you are not overweight!. You are a good size so in my opinion you don't need to do atkins!. But in any event, I have done the Atkins diet a few times over the years in order to lose a quick 5 pounds or so!. It really does work if you are strict with it!. It usually takes about 3 days to get into the ketosis state where you are burning fat!. you can buy the keto-stix in the diabetic section of any drugstore to make sure you are in ketosis!. You just put one in your urine stream to collect the specimen on the stick and then wait a few minutes and compare to the chart to see where you are at!. The problem I had was I got bored with what I could eat after a while!. I was only looking to lose a few pounds so i would stay on it for 10-12 days, the induction phase!. That is all it took!. It really does work!. Now you got me thinking about going on it again!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I lost 65 pounds on Atkins and it is very healthy!. You'll be eating mostly veggies, meat, and some dairy!. My blood pressure and cholesterol improved, and all my other blood tests came back great!.
My only concern is that at 5'7" and 132, you are already at the lower end of a normal weight range!. Losing 13 lbs!. will make you UNDERWEIGHT!. I'm 5'7" and my goal weight is 136!.
Just a friendly word of advice to you or anyone who wants to do Atkins - read the book! Please don't copy what the media says the diet is because they get it all wrong!. Read the book and learn how to do it right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
