Even the ad for Atkins on Shop America is very misleading at the moment. (UK tv)

Recently they have had 'studio guests' who have all lost weight using Atkins. One of the women states that she added up the calories once and found she was eating in excess of 3000 per day on her new 'diet'. What they fail to then address is whether this was when she weighed her heaviest and wasnt far off the 10 or 12 x body weight, or whether this was on the first few days induction when her appetite was not yet under control.

I have only just started and I dare not add up the calories until day 4 or 5 because I am hoping that I too will experience this wonderful loss of appetite that's supposed to occur!

I am a very hungry person, and am concerned that this will not work just because I will consume too many calories.
