Atkins is great. It's just hard for me to stick to. Even now with WW I use a lot of Atkins type ideas in my eating. If I don't get enough protien and too many carbs I just stop losing period.

Same here. Biggest problem for me is finding time to cook. Eating out is so easy, but eating out on Atkins isn't always so.

I've found a couple of side benefits of Atkins. I've always had allergies (dust, pollen, animals, grass) and acne. On Atkins, my face completely clears up, and I have almost no allergy symptoms (except to the animals - especially cats). I believe that cutting sugar out of my diet, which is essential on Atkins, is responsible for clearing up my face and reducing my allergy symptoms.

Between that, and losing weight, you'd think that would be enough incentive to stay on it.

However, Hagen-Daaz Pistachio ice cream is a powerful force to overcome...
