I too tried out a version of this diet a while ago. And now my doctor wants me to go back on it. I am an insulin resistance diabetes 2 patient. My body just does so much better with more protein in my system than carbs. Frustrating in one way because I love my carbs so much but rewarding because I also love meat. But when I was on the diet the first time I found a great message board and wonderful support on www.thinner.com I was able to find links to sites online where you could purchase low carb foods and great recipes. There are also some good recipes at www.allrecipes.com.

Good luck. The diet I went on was called Protien Power. My doctor liked it better than Atkins. Just remember...not all diets are for everyone. While you can lose weight on it if you don't feel well then it isn't for you. Just like some people do better on a higher carb/low fat/ low protein diet. For me it would eventually kill me. Also remember that the slower you take the weight off the longer you will keep it off. Losing weight quickly just shocks your body and doesn't allow it to adjust well. As soon as you stop the "diet" you will gain it all back quickly. I have found that I have to just realize I am not on a "DIET" I am doing a forever lifestyle change.
