YES! I was always looking for that miracle diet that would let me eat and lose weight. People said it did not exist but it does with Atkins. I have lost 62 pounds and I have gained my life back. I have a long way to go but I am 1/3 of the way there. The most amazing thing is that I no longer have cravings most of the time nor do I spend 24 hours a day starving to death. All Hail Dr. Atkins!
