Atkins Diet Reply: Why was I successful?

In this video I reply to a user on why I was successful when others can struggle. Was it easy for me or was it sheer willpower? To me, it was a matter of the big 4 items:
* Successful role models
* Participant in Support Group (benefit from their wisdom)
* Accountability
* Other Concrete goals

Other things that helped me:
* a bit of competitive spirit with weight loss
* Knowing myself and my ability to NOT withstand cheats
* finding others who "blazed the trail" before me and were kind of enough to share their recipes

I don't think I was special in that I think most people could follow in my steps as I followed in other successful losers. I don't believe my results may be unique, but they aren't atypical of someone who follows the Diet as written.

Not to be plodding here, but these videos are very poorly produced but they do contain helpful information for anyone attempting the Atkins Diet. I don't really mean to be rude, but the poster has done more than 200 videos and has learned nothing about video production. It's not that hard to comprehend your audience so nix those awful cuts and spend some time with a script. Thanks anyways-

@toadpoker When I receive my royalty check for your viewing, I will refund it.

These videos have always been they are what they are. If their quality or lack thereof interfere with your enjoyment, watch something else. I would not count on my ever learning anything about video production, but then again 5651 people have been able to overlook my flaws and subscribed.

God bless.

The new Atkins books allows caffeine if it doesnt slow your weight loss, so you don't have to give it up. I drink coffee, but quit using artificial sweetners, they slow my weight loss.

@batgirl791 I still follow or promote the 2002 version of the diet as the gold version, so my videos are made with those rules still in mind. They had many questionable books between 2002 and 2010 that I just decided to say 2002 was my guideline. Caffeine was always a YMMV, and my recommendations are simply the one I think best lend to guaranteed success.

so today i am still at my original weight loss of the first 2 weeks..and holding...i keep the 20 carbs steady..but now have a better idea of how to preplan the three cups for 12-15 carbs....and i will give up the caffeinated morning coffee...can you explain what a CLEAN atkins means..i read about it on the adbb..but don't understand it totally...no atkins products? no splenda? no caffeine?..i will not give up!!!!! and am so glad to have your videos and help along the way!

@mamasuify First to your original point, check out my Post Induction Stall Syndrome vid and why you might see a period of slow or no losses after first 14 days losses.

As for clean Induction, it primarily means:

* no frankenfoods (no low carb special products (Atkins included) or with ingredients your grandparents wouldn't recognize)

* eat only foods from the Induction foods list

It can also mean no caffeine and aspartame too- the caution products, but it is primarily about eating no LC foods.
