hi clrmind,

What an inspirational post, I have only been doing Atkins for the past couple of weeks and have had so many people tell me to be careful, how bad it is for me etc etc.. Yet, I feel better, less hungry and am losing weight. Where are all the people who are HAPPY for me!!!!

I am doing all the right things, going to get the blood work done.. drinknig lots of water, eating what I consider a balanced diet and now am about to start a walking proogramme. I am glad to hear stories like yours as I too battle with the years of lowfat indoctrination, I have to keep reminding myself that no way of eating has ever made me feel better than this and to stop listening to the prophets of doom and gloom.

Thank you !

Karen
