Please re-read. I have lost 9 lbs. over the past 5 weeks. I would like folks to listen, rather than poking holes at my request. This is frustrating. I know myself. I am resistant. I have had to pull every trick in the Atkins book to get started. Hopefully, I am there. Instead of arguing with me about whether I am resistant or not, please accept that I am and I have read everything I can get my hands on and there is no doubt. However, what I am searching for on this board are other folks who are like me and recognize that they may need to do Atkins on high fat, low carbs AND low calories. I'd like some guidance on this one because I don't want to go off of this thing and want to do it right. Please help, stop judging and confronting. Thanks. Sorry to be grumpy folks, but.............
