sounds like you were using Atkins as a 'diet' not a new Way of eating.... this isnt a good message to send out to the general population I dont think but I do wish you luck in keeping the weight off. I never plan on having to do eat whatever I want days because theat would make my mindset wrong for me...it would sabotage my efforts. I just dont know what to say... definately do nmot want to offend you and you can do whatever you want for sure! I hope new people dont read this and say "oh I can lose the weight and eat whatever I want again" It really doesnt work this way...
