I just wanted to say to some who are thinking about doing atkins that it really works and is not difficult to follow. I was an avid candy and cookie eater, I ate the worst stuff, tons of bread and sugary cereals and pasta. Then the doctor says diabetes and perspectives shift. Now after doing atkins for about 5 weeks I have lost 13 lbs. and look and feel smaller. I eat very well with no hunger. I have to start excercising. I bought some atkins breads, roasted almonds, and slim jims. The giant slim jims have just 1 carb of sugar. The roasted almonds have 2 carbs(including 1 for sugar) per 30g. I only have the nuts 1 or 2 times a week. This diet is EASY. I look foward to this summer when I expect to be half the man I was! Well almost
