I know I'll always struggle with my weight...my mother always did, bless her heart. And even five years ago, when I was VERY active, I was never tiny. I never will be. But at least now I have hope that I'm not doomed to getting heavier year after year.
I don't count carbs. And the carb counting is one of the things that made Atkins unattractive to me. But I'm happy with South Beach, since it's very unrestrictive.
2J has done a lot more experimentation than I, partly because Atkins is more strict (I can do whole wheat and such), but you don't HAVE to do anything that fancy! We just like to cook.
But in it's most basic form, it doesn't have to be complicated at all.
Yeah - I think I could do it in simpler form. I am just never gonna be that scientific about it.... just try a little common sense.
One can just eat meat and broccoli... that's Atkins, I think...
