Started Jan 4th, and have followed Atkins to the letter. Starting today I will increase to 30 Carbs a day and have so far lost 14lbs and feel great. Last week I was mostly between 20 and 25 each day. Saturday I was probably closer to 30. I have roughly figured the amount of calories and it is approx 2000 per day, give or take a couple hundred. It seems to me that if I consumed 2000 calories per day on any diet plan I am going to lose weight, I am not bashing Atkins, but just curious if I was to just watch my calorie intake would results be the same?
Have no fear, I am going to continue with Atkins as my wife is following it too and enjoying similar results.
