An ATKINS Diet Success
Story talks candidly about her success...
Name: Tinakaye S.
Age: 37 Height: 5' 5"
Before: 203 lbs. After: 122 lbs.
Weight Lost: 81 lbs.
Q: What was your greatest moment after you reached
your goal?
Tinakaye's Answer:
In February of 2001 I celebrated reaching my goal
weight at Victoria's Secret. I went there because
that's where thin, sexy, attractive women shop.
I hadn't wanted to look at lingerie when I was overweight,
but when I reached my goal, I marched into the store
with my head held high.
Q: What was the turning point for you?
Holding my head up high hasn't always been easy.
I was chunky growing up, and after having four kids
(including a set of twins), I became obese. I developed
hypoglycemia, and although I didn't require medication,
my condition still made me feel weak and tired.
My mental state was even worse. I struggled with
bulimia and laxative abuse.

Q: How did you lose the weight once and for all?
I tried other weight loss programs but never stuck
to them long term. In January of 1998 I tried Atkins.
I saw that people who've been on Atkins long term
really "got it" mentally. It slowly dawned
on me that taking the weight off and keeping it off
was a matter of choice. As long as I wanted to be
thin, I had to stick to a controlled carb program
and couldn't eat whatever I wanted once I'd lost
weight.
With this new mind set, I finally got serious about
my weight loss. It took me almost three years to
lose 81 pounds, and now I feel really good about myself. These days I try to help other people with
my own Website, Tinakaye.com. I try to give support
and information to others who follow controlled
carb way of life. It's my way of saying thank you
to Dr. Atkins and all the other people who inspired
me to make a lifelong change."
Q: How did you lose weight, once and for all?
Because I had done so much yo-yo dieting, I found
the only way for me to lose was to stay on Induction.
I never went above 20 grams of carbs a day until
I reached Lifetime Maintenance. Even now I never
consume more than50 grams a day. I started weight
training three times a week and cardio two or three
times a week. I lost 4 pounds after I joined the
gym, going from140 to 136 pounds. But the weight
loss doesn't tell the whole story. I lost3 inches
from my waist, which made an enormous difference.
And I've kept it up.
