This is the fourth time I've tried Atkins and I'm very comfortable on it and since I have found every way that this WOE that doesn't work, I can steer clear of the pitfalls. I feel my decisions have more meaning due to all my research and experience.
My weight loss is slow but continuous. It took 2-3 weeks before my weight started to go down and my health improved to the point my asthma went away and my anxiety leveled out.
I find key is lots of water.. they aren't kidding! I easily hold water.
Also keeping my carbs low (20grams or less) helps alot too.
I also limit myself to artifical sweetners and foods. I only have an advantage bar in the morning and a Fruit2O in the afternoon. Oh an a packet of splenda I use in my caffeine free red tea.

Don't give up and don't lose sight of the health benifits this WOE gives us. You have my support!
