Talking Other Atkins perks! What you love about this WOL!

(I think there was another thread like this, but durned if I cant find it! After 2.5 hours, Im giving up and starting a new thread. Forgive the lack of originality, but this I really need some of this info now!)

How have all of you faired on Atkins? Im astounded by the success stories (weight loss) but am curious about some of the other perks I seem to be getting with this WOL. Any one else experience these things? Coincidence? Just me? Would love to hear from you on what you love about this WOL!!!

What I love:
1. Obviously, fitting into my clothes
2. not constantly craving (freaking out for) sweets
3. not falling asleep after lunch or at 3:00pm
4. no gritty-feeling teeth (!) - (carb residue????!)
5. No "down" days and mood swings - such a relief!
6. no PMS, cramps have lessened, no need for PMS chocolate
7. much clearer skin (no acne or dry, flakey skin)
8. no constant gass, bloating or IBS symtoms
9. not having to take IBS medication
10. not having to eat constantly, not feeling hungry all the time

What about you?
