I did Atkins for about 3 weeks. Hated it. Loved the way I felt though. Also got my carb addiction under control. I can now walk by donuts and not be pulled to them. I also don't crave food like I used to. And I can stop myself from eating now. Before I was like a robot....'put food in hand, open mouth, insert food, chew and swallow' repeat untill anything not nailed down is gone. But I still like a lot of the foods that are on Atkins. Adn they don't make me foggy, quesy or anything like that when I eat them. So I am following something more along the lines of Sugar Busters. Keeping track of my calories and making sure that the carbs I do eat are worth every gram! This allows me to splurge a little once in awhile. Which is nice when I go out to dinner or to a friends house. Good luck to you!
