I went on Atkins and immediately started losing weight. Stopped Atkins and immediately started gaining the weight back.

The problem with Atkins for me is finding food without carbs? The LOW FAT craze has replaced protein and fat in EVERYTHING except (some meat) with carbs. I figured out I was eating like 300 carbs grams a day before I went on Atkins.

I don't think it takes a rocket-scientist to realize that Atkins is right and carbs are killing us.

You ain't kidding. It's especially hard if you work full-time and have a long commute - if you don't feel like cooking at the end of the day, there isn't much "quick" to choose from on Atkins. (I've just started Atkins and I'm still in the "feeling lousy" stage)

When my mother was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, I had the same problem finding low-sodium foods for her. Everything canned or pre-packaged is loaded with salt.

The food industry needs a major kick in the pants. It's up to the consumer to deliver it to them.
