Atkins Diet: Is there a Golden Shot?

**Photos of my QC and Des Moines Marathon at the end** Is there only one shot at the Atkins Diet success? In this video, I deal with the “Golden Shot” theory (www.lowcarbluxury.com which states that the first time is always the easiest time to lose weight with low carb. While I acknowledge that the body can react differently over time to food and thereby make it tougher (or easier) to lose weight, the same processes and rules that worked the first time should work each and every time. Your CCLL numbers may change as you age or have different activity levels, but the procedure for finding them and your reaction to the number stays the same. You can be as successful the second time as the first. The goal should be long term health and keeping the weight off, so figure out what went wrong the first time, ie what caused you to get off the diet and return to old ways of eating. Second timers who have regained their weight since losing the first time should in fact have a leg up on first timers as they should already know the program, know the rules, and have keen interest to learning how to keep the weight off this time. The thought of the Golden Shot seems just a bit off to me as well as it just serves to feed self-doubt and set one up for failure. You CAN succeed at this diet whether it be your first or third attempt.
