02.01: Atkins

Round 2: Atkins The Rules: 1) Fewer than 20 carbs per day I'll be doing the induction phase for the whole month.

02.28: Atkins Results

Guys, I did pretty good. Starting Weight: 100% Ending Weight: 97% Loss: 3% Ending Weight from Jan 1: 97% Loss from Jan 1: 3% Challenges:  There were 2 or 3 days with events that I went ahead and ate as many carbs as I wanted. I definitely noticed a setback after those days. I felt bitter when other people would eat carbs and I couldn't. Successes: Atkins has always felt relatively simple to me. I used the Atkins app which made carb counting easy. Costco made things easy, too. Verdict: My results were ok. I can't complain. I could probably do this longer (and I guess I pretty much will be with Ketogenic in March).

The Game

The game is simple: each month of 2018 try a new diet. Stick with each diet for 4 weeks and then move on. If a diet works, you can come back to it later. If a diet stinks, you're free after 30 days. At the end of the year, you'll know how twelve diets work - or don't work - for you. Here's my schedule for the year. Feel free to follow along, or create your own. January: Alternate Day Fasting February: Atkins March: Ketogenic April: Paleo May: Whole 30 June: Vegetarian July: Vegan August: DASH diet September: South Beach October: Zone Diet November: Volumetrics December: unscheduled
