Hi Georgina,

I lasted a whole week on Stillman, lost 3 lbs and got rid of my puffy ankles. However, I binged on cheese and dairy for the week after, I really craved cheese. Gained the weight back even though I still kept my total carbs at 10 per day. I think there is something to the idea of food sensitivity or intolerance. Dr.Atkins touches on it in his book, but there's not a whole lot on the subjet on the web, at least not from a lowcarb perspective. I have several good books on the the subject of food allergies, I will post my findings here, later this week when I get the time. I also am wondering about the additives in food, like the hormones and antibiotics fed to beef and dairy animals. This might be a reason for some stalls, even with doing everything else right.
