I think the single thing that I did that helped me to be successful in atkins was that I took the time to learn creative ways to use ALL the foods that were available to me. I moved to OWL after my two weeks and learned how to adapt to a new lifestyle rather then focusing so much on how fast the numbers on my scale was dropping. I think so many people get hung up on the basic induction list of foods and are afraid to try the foods higher up on the ladder. But reality is... carbs are good for you, as long as you are choosing the right ones and introducing them in the way you are supposed to. Other than that, drink lots of water, eat healthy snacks and have fun, the weight will come off in it's own time.
