Nice post there Rustpot!

Thought I would pop in with my two cents worth.

One of the reasons that I like Atkins is it's simplicity. Some folks call it strict, but to my way of thinking the lack of a long list of rules gives me a lot of flexibility to make the plan my own. Because of this, I'm happy and comfortable to continue on it as a WOL. I've been eating like this for 8.5 months and have lost fifty some odd pounds and don't feel like I've suffered to do it!

I wish you every success on Atkins and will look forward to following your progress.
