I've been doing the Atkins diet for about 6 weeks now. I passed my hardest test last night when we got pizza for supper and I ate only the toppings, pepperoni, cheese and mushrooms. It wasn't that I was really hungry but I really love the crust and wanted it really bad but I didn't eat it. I think the only way I was able to not eat it was because I still have no appetite. I've been keeping my carbs around the same as Induction so I've had no appetite the whole time. It's great!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can stay on it because I'm waiting to get my cholesterol reading back from the doctor. If it went up, I'm not sure I can stay on it. I know in the book he says it should lower your cholesterol but that seems hard to believe with all the meat and fat we're eating. Anyone else have any experience with having high cholesterol and being on medication and then doing the Atkins Diet?

This board is great and I've learned a lot. That's where I got the idea to just eat the toppings.
