Atkins was right about beta blockers...you can't lose much weight while on them. With the doctors advice I am taking half the dose and my weight started to go down again. I wonder if anybody has had this experience with these drugs? I could only eat about 20 to 30 carbs a day just to maintain my weight. Could hardly lose. But since I cut down the meds. I lost 3 lbs in the last 10 days.
