I hope you have luck with Fridays in the UK. I just returned from a 5 week stay and finding enough of the right kind of foods to eat was a NIGHTMARE. Most nights I went back to my room starving. By the middle of the fourth week I gave up and started eating bread and some potatoes just to get enough to eat. Anyone who has to eat out in the UK and can stick to Atkins is bound to lose weight. Even with the bread and potatoes I lost 5 lbs!! I realize Dr. Atkins has a terrible reputation in the UK, thanks to all those misinformed articles written by "health experts" who have never bothered to read his book. I wish all of you the best of luck and plan to send Fridays an e-mail as well.
