Hi-

You sound kinda like me. I just started Atkins 10 days ago. I exercise 5-6 days a week between 1-2 hours. I tried eating a low fat diet to be "healthy". With this exercise, I'm with a average build. To lose weight, I limited my calories to 1500-1600. I'd be able to lose 5 lbs, but would be so hungry that could never contine with weight loss. I always regained the weight. I'm hoping to lower my body fat. It would be nice to only exercise 3-4 days a week without gaining weight. I hope the Atkins lifestyle can help me too.
