Chuckybutt,
I too was a little worried about possibly gaining weight from eating fatty type/protein foods. However, I have never really had the success that I have now being on ATKINS. My energy level is through the roof!! My clothes are literally starting to fall off of me. I can also say that I can think so much more clearer than before. I felt like I was alway in a fog, which is a direct result of being a carb/sugar addict. Give LC a try for 2 weeks (& don't cheat!!!) and I promise you will see significant results. I don't even crave that crap anymore, and you won't either! Good luck! You have lots of support here!
