Hi everyone..........
just wondering how you all go about losing weight to ease your osa....
after reading that untreated sleep apnea causes insulin spikes and therefore promotes the body to retain even more fat i opted to try the atkins low carb diet my reasoning being ........
* its a very easy diet to follow, just learn how to read food labels and your away
*i can eat as much meat , eggs, cheese as i like infact as much protien and fat as i like , therefore never going hungry as i would on a calorie controlled diet
*high carb foods (white bread, potato's, pasta etc) encourage weight gain low carbs means no insulin spikes, body burns fat
i would say i needed to lose about 30lb to get my body down to optimal bmi , i lost 15lb in the 2 week induction phase of atkins, and found it fairly easy, i have had a couple of blowouts with vodka and diet coke but the great thing is there is no carbs in vodka your body just burns the alcohol first
i hardly miss my chips anymore and mix double cream with water to replace milk for my beloved tea, word of warning tho when on induction and your body goes into ketosis (fat burning mode) your breath may begin to pong
will keep everyone posted on how i do as i add carbs over the weeks and would love to hear how you all go about losing weight
