On atkins. I have lost about 30lbs since april on a very liberal "atkins style" diet. Have watched my Blood sugar, Blood Pressure and colesterol drop to almost normal levels, although I am still taking my meds.
Just turned 49 monday the 25th. The same day I started the Atkins induction and the 20lbs by Christmas challenge. I guess I just wanted my weight loss to move a little faster. I know Atkins works because I have tried it and was successful in the past. But, like a lot of other people I thought I could handle going back to my old eating habbits and maintain my weight, I gained back about 40 pounds of the 60 I had lost. That was about 7 years ago. Since then, I have tried WW and other low calorie/low fat diets. They work but I could never duplicate the success I had with the Atkins. Even that last "quasi Atkins" thing I was doing was out pacing low fat/low cal diets. So, I decided to dig out my old "Dr. A". book and I am ready to do it again.
