I am giving the Atkins an honest go beginning today. I "tried" it a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't really committed. I think I sabotaged myself by eating packaged foods and diet sodas. I am going to do induction the all-natural way, eating no pre-packaged foods and drinking only water. My sister has lost 25 puonds since June 13th, so I am definitely a believer. Wish me luck!!
