Low carbs -- ala Atkins

[Abigail]

Just skip ahead to the sections on phase I, II and III. :)-->

And see a doctor to have your lipids and uric acid tested before you start the diet.

I haven't done that part and won't cause I don't have insurance. But I do know I have a triglyceride problem and the specialist I used to see used me in an example in one of his lectures because my improvement amazed him. I did what he said and cut out the carbs and other foods he told me to cut out and brought my levels down to almost normal. I have also lost weight doing this, but that wasn't the goal.

To every man his own truth and his own God within.

I've seen Atkins work wonderfully for Steve! He lost weight and felt great on the plan.

I, on the other hand, HATE Atkins.

Don't get me wrong...I've tried it...twice...both times with the attitude of succeeding at it. But I simply cannot eat that amount of meat and eggs....my system rebels and I end up sick.

And YES I followed the Atkins program exactly.

Just wanted to speak up for those for whom Atkins does not work....I'm back to the eating plan a friend of mine designed for me a few years ago. I feel great and the weight is coming off a pound or so a week.
