My wife, myself and our two teenage daughters started on the Aitkin's Diet 2 years ago, we all needed to lose weight, our 16 year old has lost 17kg, our 13 year, 10kg, my wife, 10kg and myself 6kg, (I
like having a beer).
There is always a worry when you try diets especially when children are involved, we played it very low key, but they did catch on that our eating habits had changed.
We are kiwi's living in Brisbane.
The transformation our family has gone through is amazing. We all played sport, and the only change is, we play more now, I ran a half marathon last year, my wife ran in several 10kg runs, and our children are more active in sport than ever.
We really enjoy LOW CARB food, it takes a while to get used to, but you would never get us eating to many carbs again. In all honesty there are a lot of knockers out there, but they are still fat and have a chicken leg in one hand and a bag of mixed lollies in the other. I cannot say enough about low carb diets, they have changed our life forever and I would challenge anybody that says differently.
