I started b/c I saw Dr. Atkins on the Today show and got intrigued. I figured that 2 weeks of that couldn't be worse than when i quit smoking--and it was so easy! Not that induction was easy, but very doable, since i was never hungry, had more energy, etc, etc. Now that I've been on maintenance for a while, I have to be careful to be consistent and vigilant--more & more products are coming out that can substitute for high-carb foods, and some of them are so good that I can't stop eating them...

Anyway, now my daughter and son-in-law are doing South Beach and liking it!
