Atkins Diet: Why do people fail on Atkins diet?

In what might not be the most popular video I have ever done, I deal with the topic on why others have failed or not succeeded on the Atkins Diet. Some times you have to take accountability for your own actions, but my goal was to use these stories of past failed attempts of the Atkins Diets to prevent others from falling victim to the same thinking.

Here is the top 7 reasons people fail:
1. Use it as a fad diet or quick weight loss, and then hop off the diet.
2. Never read the book / think there is only one phase
3. Modify the diet or believe they know better
4. Believe if a little is good, then none must be better
5. Believe they can cycle carbs to achieve better results, and end up just cycling on
6. Cheat a single time due to a unique occassion / failure to plan, and give up on themselves
7. Get frustrated with a weight loss hesitation or stall and call it quits

My diet (wich was a sucess) was a 1,200 cal diet with 3 meals a day. I ate pastas, veggies(including potatoes), 3-4 oz meat (govt changed daily rec to 4-6oz) and low salt. I lost plenty of lbs... up until the low salt and sugar protien fucked my body up(electrolyte wise) and my hair turned WHITE. i began urinating alot thirsty (symptoms of diabeties) when i went back to eating meat i gained all the weight back ugghhhh... meat makes me fat unless i eat VERY LITTLE like 1x a day of alot of meat.

@True2TheBlueYoViGang I am happy for your success, but I tried strict low Calorie diets and low fat diets. They did not work for me. After years of failing on other plans, the only plan that worked for me was Atkins. I lost 211 pounds doing Atkins. If you are unhappy with eating meat, you can even be a vegetarian and do Atkins.

your body needs electrolytes this comes from carbs and complex carbs also with salt and sometimes lime helps. in short term you wont suffer but for a while it can go bad for ya... it did for me actually.. i cut back on salt (cuz we're told its so bad for u), i ate more meat, ate less stuff like carbs and complex carbs...after a few weeks it was a BIG MISTAKE.. and man did i get fucked health wise(not enough characters to explain). *note this diet involved veggies and some meat not atkins diet :/

@True2TheBlueYoViGang True, your body needs electrolytes. False these electrolytes have to come from carbs. Electrolytes like salt, potassium, and calcium can be found in many animal products often in larger amounts than in plants. For more information about one of these, check out my hypokalemia - do you need a banana video. I am not sure what you think the Atkins diet is, but there is vegetables in every phase of the diet.

my new diet was working well but its my experiment but it somewhat involves what atkins diet is sorta about but i also added some stuff that he said to avoid kinda atkins blasphemy... protein and carbs 1 meal a day that has a 2 serving size... so its like the size of 2 tiny meals. so yeah its cal deficiet.. the carbs normally are mixed like complex carbs and simple carbs (adding sugar to stuff) and a natural milk protein shake(not store buaght chemical shakes). it was working until i quit it

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@True2TheBlueYoViGang im actually reinventing a diet personally for my self... so far... im going to make a diet (yeah u can say its sorta calorie deficiet counting sorta but not really since i dont count the calorie just plate sizes).. my diet (ive done it but stopped due to economical reasons) consisted of Protein + Carbs (yeah the shit that ppl tell u to avoid). I have a NATURAL PROTEIN SHAKE(no space to explain) with salt and sugar added, meat, and carbs i lost 3lbs 1wk

@True2TheBlueYoViGang

i get fat eating meat if i eat it like 3 meals a day. will make me gain not loose. yeah im aware phase2 introduces veggies but since i had a bad experience with them im not fucking with them other than potatoes and onions and shit like that. Also my electrolyte comment was for my diet that messed me up ur right meat does aide electrolytes.. especially if its salted (atkins website even tells u not to eat low sodium foods)..my comments a warning

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@bowulf the low cal diet i did i fucked it up a numerous times and still lost weight... veggies are a good way to loose weight but they fucked up my health. i fucked up some sort of balance when i did this diet(its not vegetariean). i felt full i felt energetic healthy great... but my hair started turning white. Eating meat is all i can do and i can only follow a meat eating diet if i like eat 1x a day like 1 big plate of meat or 1 small meal (DBL cheeseburger for ex). meat makes me fat

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@bowulf haha hey friend it seems u didnt get my comments i ran out of space quick and got tired of capatchas wot i was saying (altho ive never done the atkins diet) I applied dr. atkins advice on meat consumption and i have to eat meat im just that kind of person that needs2.i tried these otehr diets trust me i did... but only 1 gave me the best sucess ever and it ruined my health and turned my hair white (the one mentioned above) alot of my hair got its color back with meat consumption
