(?)Harmonic's Revenge: Getting Ripped

Sorry to hijack but this is appropriate to all of you that had something to say earlier. Since my last posting, I've followed the Atkins diet and began the HIT routine that I posted. Guess what? I'm now 249.5 lbs (+ 8 lbs) and ~ 7% BF (- 6%). ALL NATURAL and only ~ 95-100 grams of carbs a day. No lethargy and muscles could be fuller but nothing even close to being considered flat. So, I guess all of you are right. Atkins and HIT don't work.

HIIT does work, Atkins don't cant wait for you to start eating some carbs after you get off atkins....kaboom! diet is not a phase its a life style, unless you plan to eat 100 grams of carbs your whole life....which eventually lower your metabolism...then it will stop working and you will start to gain. But hey to each thier own.
 
I have to clear up on what I just said above.

1.) I was originally wrong, HIIT does work.

2.) Atkins does not work. You will drop weight/fat (but mostly weight) just on the fact that you are restricting cal intake and most importantly Carb intake. The basic premise of losing fat is do something to shock your body, which atkins does. However, you'r body will adapt. The more cals and carbs you restrict the worse your body is going to react. Unless your popping crazy amounts of ECA stacks or thermogenics, your going to fell lethargic and your metabolism is going to be horrendous. and once you start to eat more cals and carbs again your gonna gain some weight back again.

3.) Weight loss is a life style, not a phase or a drop weight quick type of thing (which atkins is). If something is too restrictive..cough atkins cough...then you are going gain weight back possibly more then before. But hey if you say it worked for you then good, far be it for me to call you a liar.
