I read most of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revoltion book, and would like to give it a try. I'm 238 lbs, 5' 11"....would like to be around 180...I had a few questions to ask if anyone knows......

1. I'm not a salad eater...meat and potatoes kinda guy here....would I still be able to do the Atkins diet, or do I 'have' to start eating lettuce, tomatoes, etc.

2. I'm a single guy who eats out quite a bit too....what's a guy to do , when all that's open during my work hours (11pm - 7 am), are fast food joints? The thought of scrapping a hamburger bun and fries , leaving only the meat , makes me feel like I'd be starvin' for certain! lol

3. Is it a pain to try to account for every carb that you ingest thru a day?


4. In the book, they recommend some 'supplements'...are these necessary?

I have more questions...can't think of them right off now, but I'll add them when I reemember.................
