Low-Fat/Low-Calorie (AHA Diet I believe)

I went to a dietician in 1996 and she put me on the AHA diet. I was miserable, hungry all the time, and didn't lose the weight I needed to. In my first 2 months on Atkins, I lost more than I lost in 6 months on a low-fat diet. After that, I viewed all diets with suspicion.

I heard about Atkins a while later. But, when I asked about it...I was told it was "DANGEROUS." That combined with my suspicion of "Fad" Diets, I chose to not go on Atkins at that time. I went on Atkins after a friend told me of his success on it.
