Hi all....

I have been reading many journals, threads, posts of people that have started Atkins and have already set their own rules (or adopted rules they have seen on the forum).

All I want to say is that Atkins has been proven to work for so many people as is and why (unless you have tried it for months and lost nothing) is everyone second guessing the diet and rewriting it.

The premise is to be able to enjoy eating again without guilt or needless obsessing on calories or ratios.

We only count carbs.
We eat when we are hungry and stop when our body says we are full.
It is a simple and beautiful way to eat until healthy and satisfied every day!

I understand why we doubt the rules of this plan from the start (we were taught so rigidly the opposite) but it really does work. And it is such a shame that we don't trust our bodies to be able to handle this freedom.

All I know is it works and I believe whole heartedly in the process. It does take a while because the body has natural stalls but it so works!

Thanks all for reading my little rant...
