Okay, I'm making the commitment to low-carb. I'm still not 100% certain this is going to work, but I'm really keeping my fingers crossed.

I just finished day 4 of the induction phase of Atkins and am feeling okay about being on this diet so far. I borrowed some Ketostix and have moved out of the "Neutral" zone, but am so far only in the "trace" and "small" amounts of ketosis (I know, baby steps, baby steps!)

Anyway, I've been browsing this forum all evening and want to thank everyone for all the helpful information I've found here. I did read Dr. Atkins' book from cover to cover, but it left quite a few unanswered questions for me, and I was glad to find this forum because I have found the answers to many of those questions.
