The Spiky Haired Girl - Atkins, Low Carb, Nutrition Advice

Meet TheSpikyHairedGirl, I wouldn't go as far as saying her hair is spiky, but I like her style + she's very attractive too ;o) Anyhow I added her to my YouTube friends list because of her funky advice she supplies for low carbers. She's relatively new to posting videos on YouTube at the moment, but what she lacks in numerous posts, she makes up with quality content/advice, and am sure her library of videos will continue to successfully grow.

If you want to check out her YouTube page/profile go here -> TheSpikeyHairedGirl and if you like her video's don't forget to drop her a message, am sure she would appreciate it.

Bowulf - Atkins, Low Carb, Nutrition & Exercise Advice

Bowulf also known as Kent Altena is kind of my Atkins Idol/Guru. This guy is amazing and very informative. In fact his weight loss journey is just incredible, just check out his amazing success story to see why. I have the deepest respect for this fella and he demonstrates that, if you put your mind to a challenge, take action, you can achieve anything, whether weight loss or half marathons etc.

Another reason why I have so much respect for this guy is that he provides loads of help and advice to the masses via YouTube. If your starting up your own Atkins Challenge for whatever reason and you want to lose weight but your not sure how to go about it, then alongside the Dr. Atkins book, I recommend you check out Bowulfs YouTube videos. I have seen almost all his clips, and they are an invaluable resource for any low carber, especially when searching for answers to low carb living questions. Reflecting on his past experiences, he communicates in a friendly but militant style, providing loads of tips, tricks and best practices for a healthy low carb living.

If you want to check out his YouTube page/profile go here BowulfsYouTube. He also hosts a successful blog too which can be found here BowulfsBlog, containing yet more advice, photos and other interesting news. Remember if you like his video's or site don't forget to drop him a message, am sure he would appreciate it.

Livin La Vida Low Carb - Atkins, Low Carb & Nutrition Advice

Welcome to the world of LivinLaVidaLowCarb with Christine and Jimmy Moore. This low carb duo are out to battle the low carb myth, to show/prove that eating a low carb lifestyle high in fat/protein is healthy for you and not just for the short term either.

Jimmy has the most amazing story, before he started an Atkins lifestyle in January 2004 he was massively over weight at 410 pounds. That is twice the size of me currently, which is outrageous. Anyhow one year later he lost 180 pounds, and by the way am not talking about pounds as in, the English tender/currency :o)

Jimmy and Christine regularly post YouTube clips to inspire, help, encourage and humor fellow livinlavidalowcarbers such as myself. Their videos are a must see because they are jam packed full with quality information (food for thought!).

Alongside their YouTubing they have also been blogging their successes. In fact their blog or should I say their (huge) archive contains plenty of wonderful resources.

If you want to check out their blog click here -> LivinLaVidaLowCarbBlog, and their YouTube page/profile can be found here LivinLaVidaLowCarbYouTube.

Remember if you like any of their video's don't forget to drop them a message or two, because they would really appreciate it.
