Tony you can get some more information on Atkins from the forum's synposis under "Which low-carb plan is right for me?" in Quick Links (along the righthand side margin) You can also check out Karen's post under "Newbies' Questions" called "Hot Links!" there are some great links to discussions that will directly relate to what you're going through.
