ive read it... if you're having a problem with atkins, you're probably going to have more problems with the zone IMO. you've admitted to making unhealthy choices- work on that. even if you're staying within your carbs, it doesnt mean you're not getting too much salt or sugar. heck, i could just eat 5 servings of nuts a day and still be under 20 carbs, but it wouldnt lose me any weight, kwim?
