i tend to disagree...sorry i am very good at disagreeing

i do in fact have a friend who did atkins religiously for 3 months(she lost all of her weight)... then went back to eating carbs in moderation... it has been three years now and she still has kept the weight off, and i have seen her eat cake, ice cream, soda...you name it she still enjoys it, however in moderation... it can work, it is all in that lil thing called self control... and the fact that some people are born with a good motabalizm...although i am jealous... i have not been born with such a thing. anyway just my two cents...
