[HeyGorgeous1000]

really the soda burnt your throat i remember when i had my first soda when i was on the atkins diet it tasted o.k but then after i felt overly full and my stomach started hurting and i felt bloated...

[IIlIlIlIlIlIl]

Diets don't work- Lifestyle changes work.

[bpurchase21]

your too cute... my dad does atkins and he lost over 50lbs.. he allows himself 2 diet sodas a day.. Zumba is awesome!!! try to find another class. What gym do you go to? i go to 24hour and they have zumba at different locations at different times. keep up the good work

[singingbeauty17]

good video

xoxoxoxo

[ANGIEfromAtoZ]

when someone says to me atkins or low carb is not good that just lets me know they didnt read the bkk it lets me know that they dont know in phase 3 of atkins you can start adding berrys and fruits that dont spike your blood sugar levels hang in there you are doing so great

[NikkiHarbor]

I did Atkins about 2 years ago and lost like 70lbs in 4 months, it is a very easy program to follow if you can go without bread-I love cheese and Atkins allows you to have cheese so I loved it, anyway good luck!

[LoveSaraJade]

I think some people think atkins is unhealthy because a lot of people assume everyone who does it eats a ton of butter, red meat, and cheese... but I agree, if you are eating lean meats, veggies, water... that is great!!

Keep going!! :)

[TheAdrienne80]

ive done low carb and lost 75.2 pounds since late febuary keep it up it will come off fast its just the induction doing that to you. u'll see it will melt off take care.... I'll subscribe cant wait to see you melt like i did. have a good day take care.

[fusiondude890]

i noticed you had a little spelling mistake. at the end of the video it says "eating heatly" and im pretty sure you mean "eating healthy", just letting you know

[junkinthetrunkk]

lol figures..that always happens to me, i don't pay close enough attention...lol

[JesusLovesYou0319]

It's ok on your gain. Don't sweat it you will be better next week. Good luck :)

[sheilachristine]

ATkins rocks, I wouldn't have lost the 76 pounds I have without it.

[finnjolly]

5 stars***** //*u*\\

[MissJanieHere]

[ArlenesUniverse]

[ceramicheart150]

My zumba class is only on Thursday afternoon too, wtf!? ASS-PART-A-MEENE!? :P I think you are doing fine, I commend you for your continued fire about Atkins & not giving up, maybe it just suits you finally! Home-made mac & cheese is the devil. Ugh, good for you :D YAY PINK!!!!

watta watta watta!

Love you naked junkinthetrunkk <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

So happy you are my bestie :D

[waterchicklet]

Amber you're looking fabulous, keep up the great work. So proud of you for not giving in to temptation, not a lot of people would do that. Bravo.

[ceramicheart150]

Imma kick your ass girl. GET ON YAHOO FFS! D:

[waterchicklet]

haha... i was just getting a quick fix before bed... must remember the yahoo!

[rachelsanders2]

The Atkins diet is a fraud.

[junkinthetrunkk]

no its a low carb diet... no fraud about it

[rachelsanders2]

It's a complete fraud.  "low carb" doesn't even mean anything. It's a marketing term used to sell books and products.

[Donlakyounomoah]

I disagree. If you think back to what people ate a hundred or so years ago, it wasn't Oreo's and Pizza Pockets. Take a look at what we in North America eat as compared to years ago. Low carb also doesn't mean no carbs b/c veggies have carbs. We eat way too much sugar and white flour foods and they aren't healthy.

[junkinthetrunkk]

yes agree... Low carb lifestyle really gets back to the basics of how we are supposed to eat. Back when we were hunting our food, and growing our veggies!

<3 Amber

[beyerprep]

dang i wrote a long comment and youtube messed up on me=(

ignore the comments and keep pushing forward. if this works for you then do it. screw everyone else!

[beyerprep]

i did atkins for about 3wks lol.. idk why people talk trash on it. if it works for you then do it. i got really sick from it though.. and im not that disipline to give up stuff all at once=/

keep up the good work!

[leikana]

I'm a slave to the scale too. :( But hey, we're curious people. At least you're still on plan :)

<3

[aguthrie2]

Can I ask u what Atkins book you are ready. I am hypothyriod and my hubby is type 2 diabetic and I have been thinking of living a low carb lifestyle and have read that that was a better way of eating for us.

[CutTheFat]

Also, sorry, I meant to mention. My best friends Father was on Atkins, and he lost about 150, if not more, and he's kept it off. He looks astounding. I don't think Atkins would be good for ME, however, it is right for a lot.

[CutTheFat]

I'm taking a Zumba class on Thursday, I can't WAIT! It also messes with my schedule, though, I start school next week.

[fit2btried]

You had so many non-scale victories this week: resisting temptation, standing up to RL peeps who question Atkins, asking for an on plan food at a party, working out, sticking to your goals, etc etc etc Congrats on a fabulous week. The scale WILL follow!

[KeriLyn2980]

I hate when you tell someone what you are doing, not only in weight loss, but in general and they have something to say about it... SO WHAT U don't like it... dont do it.. that doesn't mean it wont work for me! BOOO on that!

I also hate when the scale doesnt show your efforts! LOL But it will definitely catch up! Great attitude!! <3

[BrownEyedCAGirl]

Girl, you look great! You are all clear, and there is something sparkly about you - besides your makeup.. lol i just mean you look ALIVE and well! I can't quite place what's different, but you look amazing. Keepit up!

[JiLLkeLLie]

i feel ya w/ the family functions and the food, my fam was over for the weekend a few weeks ago and i pigged out the whole weekend - unfortunately i did give in. I was able to get right back on track after they left. I am dreading the next time they r over.. i really need to plan ahead big time! Great job. i love ur intro btw. good luck w/ school!

[thesiegster]

...and if anyone else gives you shit about low-carb. Send them to my channel.

god, I hate know it alls that don't know shit!

[thesiegster]

Amber!! Don't you dare be discouraged! Us low-carbers gotta stick together :) I think you had a great week! You will have a nice loss next week. Bank on it!

[junkinthetrunkk]

thank you Greggggggggg !!!! your support means alot to me!

Luv ya suga...lol... Amber

[gentnervela]

go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ypu can do it

[FindingKristy]

Have you done any measurements? I know that with Atkins the scales may not always drop, but the inches do.. good job keeping at it :) <3

[Slim4Iife]

I'm still reading the book. But I'm considering starting soon :)

Great job Amber!

Cheers,

Mari

[ihrmc]

great job! i am glad more people are getting out the good word about atkins - it definitely gets a bad rap and is not what most people think it is. keep up the good work!!

[bowulf]

I too am quite the scale addict, so I too know the frustration.

I think you had a great week - even if the .4 increase. You did and are looking wonderful. There is a good recipe for a faux mac and cheese (google it) on both adbb and lowcarbfriends. If you are jonesing for that taste, try that recipe and let me know how it goes.

Good job!!

[Imskinnyinside]

I am not a carnivore so this would never work for me. I do eat meat but it's very minimal. Congrats on doing so well so far. :)

[SwtBlonD05]

I had my first diet pop this past week too after not having any for awhile- it wasn't as good as I remembered. Probably a good thing. Keep up the good work!

[cutechoclatechip]

right now as i do the master cleanse, i'm reading the atkins revolution book! it seems like it might be great for me! i might do the master cleasnse and the rest of the week and than try atkins or i might do master cleanse another week or two but, i'm definantly trying atkins! it's the only diet i've never tried so why not? lol! thank you for sharing. i know alot of people frown on atkins but, that's better than popping pills or starving your self!

[augustwhisper]

i really want to try zumba! that is great that you stuck to your plan even at the party, that is a tough thing to do. keep it up :)

[Marlaine83]

Amazing job resisting all that food at the birthday party. I'm going to a wedding this friday and they are basically doing a dessert buffet...I really hope to channel the same self control that you did!

[rushedartist]

Amber you're doing great!!! The no soda thing must be rough but it sounds like you're working it girlfriend!!!!! Congrats on getting to the gym...it's my biggest problem. I admire anyone who can work out as much as you and nicole do...good luck on atkins!!!! Sounds like you're kicking ass!!!!!

[allisonsfat]

i have heard such good things about zumba! i really wanna try it :)

[weightywonderwoman]

Sounds like you have been an angel this week. I am so impressed that you managed to resist all that lovely party food!!

[LINDSTROMTODD]

Hey Amber, stick to your guns on your atk. program. If it works for you it will work. Dont ever feel bad about asking your family help you stick to your program. Most fam. will be very understanding and want to help you reach your goals.

[Sessa79]

The classes do sound fun. I am very happy that you feel better and working out. Do what works for you, right?

[apollojakenwill]

Way to go, Amber! Don't fall into the scale trap- you are meeting your goals so the scale can go to ^&** ! :) Anyway- great job on the temptation resistence- I found I have to always pack food with me- too much of our standard diet is a no no for any diet/ healthy lifestyle. Atkins can definitely be healthy- IF it is used in a healthy manner- like any other plan. Don't worry about defending it- your results will speak for you :)
