After seeing the show I tried the hamburger throw the bun away thing.

In my opinion, it might be okay for a rush lunch with no other option but I'd rather walk 10 blocks and get a BLT salad from Wendy's.

A good friend of mine stuck to Atkins and was quite successful with losing 25 lbs. She maintained through the holidays and is now finishing the last 10 lb push. I know she went out to eat a few times but simply chose well, turned down the breads and potatoes and ate just as well as the rest of us.
