Glad to have found this thread. I have been doing Atkins for three weeks now and lost 8 pounds the first week but only 1 the second week. I haven't checked yet but will tomorrow. I have been on the beta blocker for several years but only take 1/2 a pill a day so thought I might be able to get away with still losing weight. If that does not work out will cut out one half starting tomorrow as essentially I have been between 10 and 15 carbs per day.

Have really enjoyed being on the plan and eating what I feel like, never having the munchies and feeling slimmer even if the weight is not going down.

Do have to start something different though as I now think eating all the protein has given me gout. No fun at all trying to get out of bed in the morning.
