Well I figured I'd give this low-carb thing a try. So I went low-carb on April 1 and have lost 51 pounds since. If anybody out there was a skeptic like me, I urge you to give it a try. I never did the Atkins plan with the ketosis and all. But I did cut carbs out of my diet as much as I could as well as all junk and processed foods (which are loaded with carbs). I now have eggs every morning for breakfast and lots of steak and other meats. What a difference. Wish I'd done this 10 years ago.

Whoa, Sam! Weren't you one of the naysayers on the Atkins threads a few months back? But - that would mean you changed your mind about something due to FR threads. That's not allowed, is it? :-D

Yes, I was a naysayer. But I also know that hundreds of Freepers can't be wrong. SO that's why I decided to give it a try. Actually I am not on the Atkins diet but sort of a modified approach to it. I still take in about 70-100 carbs a day, mostly through the Gatorade I drink. But since I walk 7-9 miles a day (and more on weekends), it's a luxury I can afford. Plain water just doesn't quench my thirst after a long walk like Gatorade.
