Default I love Dr. Atkins because....

1. No more cravings.
2. Minimal hunger
3. The scaly skin on my hands that I've had for 15+ years is gone
4. Hives that I've been plaqued with for years have disappeared.
5. My knees that used to be so sore sometimes I couldn't walk are fine know and never bother me
6. Better complexion and softer skin all over my body
7. More energy and clearer thinking
8. Better self-esteem
9. More serenity. I am calmer now.

The biggest thing for me are the top two: no cravings and I'm hardly ever hungry (except when I am supposed to be). On low-fat, high-carb diets, I was always hungry. I used to tell people that eating made me hungry, and it was true! I used to think something was really wrong with me. Now I know why! The carbs were causing hyperinsulinemia followed by crashes. Now I can look at all kinds of sweet, I can even bake them, and not be tempted to eat them. It's wonderful! And, for me, miraculous!
