I do wish you luck with your diet, however i personally donot agree with the ATKINS DIET, i have had friends who have done it, it works like any other diet, but for how long, can you live this way for the rest of your life, its not the diets that fail, its the DIETER unfortunately.
I am a avid supporter of WEIGHT WATCHERS and only believe this to be the most sensible healthy way to eat, we all should eat this way.
Well good luck, the battle of the bulge is always a hard one to win, and anything is worth a try i suppose.
