In DANDR, Dr Atkins gave 2 case studies examples: 1 was the person who had a quick weight lost, whilst the other had a steady weight loss over a period of time. End results - both lost weigh though the timing differred, and they did according to their ability.

I believe one should go at one's pace but with commitment in mind. I know my weight lose could be more significant if I had prepared my own meals. But since I eat out for all my meals, I am at the mercy of whatever that is out there and I use my acquired knowledge of Atkins to judge what is best for consumption in the rules on mind.

Cheat and guilt is when I become glutton!
