I agree that you need to find the right mix for you. I started on Atkins, and like YankeeINtx have lost that carb addiction and I don't want it back. But, I don't want to continue eating the amount of fat that I have been, because that is the part that I don't think that I can do forever. I too have been searching for a happy medium without adding back all of the refined sugars.
My main concern is to keep them in control, my protein at a good percentage and my calories in my range and I'm pretty sure that this will work for me.
I have no intention of ever adding back high sugar carbs like bread, pasta, potaoes, chips etc on a regular basis. But I do think that I woulk like to enjoy them occasionally here and there. Never again all day long like I used to.
