Yes, yes, yes, I lost 30 lbs on Atkins. Started near the end of January 2003, hit goal weight the first week in May. I followed induction for 2 weeks, OWL after that, and so on, including weights, walking and water--all of which I was doing before Atkins, I just got more serious about it as a whole life-management program.
I use Atkins muffins, made from an Atkins mix, also Keto l/c oatmeal, quite a bit. And I always have 1/2 of an Atkins bar mid-afternoon to satisfy the sweet tooth. Otherwise, I eat meat and veggies-lots of veggies and salads, I love 'em-for lunch and dinner. I eat more than aonyone in my office and have the best shape, b/c of the l/c factor.
I no longer have the irresistable urge to fall asleep in the afternoon, and I'm not craving something 1/2 hour after a meal, either. My energy levels are MUCH higher than before, and my strength and endurance are much improved, also. Sometimes I think the side benefits are almost more important---nah...
I dropped from a size 18/20 to a 14/16-perfect for me, as i am tall. I absolutely LOVE the way I look in my clothes now!
I never counted anything, I just followed the program, eating until comfortable, then stopping--I figured I would have to learn to do that eventually, so I just started that way. I found it easy to follow b/c I love veggies and I like meat, chicken, seafood, too--I don't really miss bread or pasta, and I'm able to eat potatoes, so I'm really not suffering.
Thanks for asking, I hope you get a lot of replies, as I love to hear success stories!
