I drink a gallon of water a day, I use salt, and I have lost 59 pounds so far in 75 days. It isn't all the food though. I was sluggish when I started because of the excess weight, but week one I dropped 11 pounds, then I started walking. Now I am doing 4 sub minute miles on the Nordic Track every morning. I have a co-worker who started 3 months before I did, same height, and same weight. He has lost 52 pounds in 5 and a half months, without exercising. The reason that my loss is greater is the working out.

Combine the two together and it is dynamite. You could go the other way, and eat exactly the same you do now, and work out, and you will lose weight.

The beauty about following a low carb way of eating like Atkins, is that exercise is a key component of it.

Thank you for the info. I too have lost weight on the Atkins. I am just coasting now. I may lose some more in a while. I walk a mile a day and stay active. I am so happy with the Atkins diet I will tell anyone who will let me about it.
I do dink the 8 glasses of water and I use salt. I guess if you are drinking a gallon and it works then I am OK, because I drink a lot of water and diet coke.
Congratulations on your weight lost, that is terrific.

I must be dense, but what are "4 sub minute miles?"
