I’m on the Atkins diet:
I play my guitar and drink a lot :-)
Seriously, there is absolutely no way around the fact that if you burn more calories than you consume you will lose weight. The timing and quality of food and exercise matters, but you can no more eat fewer calories than you burn and NOT lose weight than you can levitate (or violate any other law of physics_. I did the low carb thing and DID lose weight, but keeping a sane balance of protein/carbs/fats and eating less than you use is a lot more fun and easier to maintain in my experience.
Bump for later
