It took me a full 3 weeks to get over not eating any starches, it was terribly hard. But now, its great! I have been on the low carb diet for 6 weeks & I have lost 10 lbs. I don't have the craving for food that I had before. I just get kind of tired & I know its time for some protein. That is an amazing amount of weight, for me to lose in a few weeks. I'm pumped now!

Yeah. My doctor put me on Atkins awhile back for 2 weeks. I lost 13 pounds but I felt really tired and the cravings never went away. He told me he had never seen anyone as addicted to carbs as I was. Now I do weight watchers but watch my carbs. I started to gain a little though so for the last week I went off all sugars and starches. I lost 7 pounds. I'm added 1 starch this week and will see how I do. I'm going to avoid all sugars awhile longer . I feel much better with some carbs though. The induction is so hard. Sometimes I think this is a guys diet. My doctor does it but says his wife hates it. My husband has lost over 70 lbs on Atkins and loves it. Go figure.
