hey, just wanted to say, I posted that back 2002. I been going strong since....my weight stays between 110 and 114 lbs. I didn't have this forum, because at the time I started in 1999, I did not have a computer, I did this on my own...I thought I was the only person on the planet on this diet! I found this by accident in 2002. Talk about changes in the Atkins diet! You have all these low carb foods available, which I did not have...low carb breads, cereal, etc. Not sire if I like this...I still feel calories are important. What made Atkins so successful was the fact that forbidden foods had so many calaories. The point being those foods should still be forbidden. Otherwise, I fear the Atkins diet could go the way of low fat diet. Well thats my two cents worth
