You have got to get into a different mindset. I low fat dieted my way up to 304 pounds. It wasnt pretty.

With Atkins when we deprive ourselves and not eat we dont lose weight. You have to keep your calories up! The other negative about not eating is that you are more prone to cheat. You start to feel deprived and you are off the plan. Im very fond of saying Atkins is not rocket science and we make it harder than what it is.
