I didn't follow Atkins to the letter but low-carb was basically how I went from 304 to 197 in six months. When I added carbs back in (pizza, pasta, pastries) my weight rocketed right back up. So I know that I need to stay away from those foods forever.

So I'm learning to appreciate all the foods I can eat. For instance, I just perfected my recipe for roasted brussels sprouts, which involves olive oil and garlic - three superfoods in one dish! Never thought I would ever come to like brussels sprouts so much.

I watched the youtube video ‘why we get fat’ and it finally clicked. My body is in fat storage mode forever, restricting carbs is the only way to stop or reverse it. I can have carbs as treats but I will need to be strict and stay on plan forever. Like a supermodel I will have to manage my intake forever, luckily low carb is not hard!
