Thanks for the info. I'm currently lifting weights and swimming vigorusly. I guess my follow-up questions fall into two categories.


1) I guess the next question is: should I be looking for problems like yeast infections, or food intolerances? I don't know of any symptoms that suggest I would have a problem. Atkins offers these up as scape goats when people are having trouble losing. Does anyone know of any resources (books, internet, etc.) for those of us who are having trouble?

2) Does it make sense for a person that is not getting results on the very restrictive Atkins Induction diet to move to a lower calorie, low carb diet. Adding more veggies, berries and nuts? What would be the right amount of carbs to consume? Mabe over the next few months (along with exercise) I should bounce back and forth between the induction Phase of Atkins and a 50 Gram version???
