Just got back from seeing my doctor. Told him I was on the Atkins Diet... he told me to go for it. He had used it in the past and had good results.

Of course this is coming from a doctor that at one time weighed 353 pounds. When I first started going to see him he was a huge man. We talked about weight for a few minutes and he told me he had the gastric bypass surgery and had already lost 51 pounds. He was down to about 302 at that time.

Well today I asked him how it was going.... he was now down to 253, he had lost 100 pounds in about 6-7 months!

Anyway, he said Atkins was good science, but to use my head. So.... that is enough of an okay to move forward for me.

BTW, the blood pressure was normal, and the blood work comes back in a few days....looking forward to getting that information.....
