One of the people on here who is doing really well on Atkins is ctlss. Look her up on "Atkins Recent Activity" at the bottom right of your page. If you have any questions about the diet, she will be able to help. I can't because I'm on the exact opposite, a very high complex carb diet. The one thing we all seem to agree on is, don't ever go below 1200 calories. LOL.
