You are right. The Atkins diet works great for some of us. Lost forty pounds, cholesterol is great, heart is great, feel great, and best of all, have kept the weight off for two years and counting. No bread, no rice, no noodles, no sugar, no taters, no sugar, no fast food!

Lost 60 in three month without even trying. We'd go out to eat and I would eat MORE than everyone and lose, lose, lose. My blood work came back after six months and my doctor was STUNNED! Chol 310 -> 150, Lipids 900 -> < 100. That was more than a year ago. From time to time I still put on a pair of 46 pants to remember how big I was. ha, ha, ha!

Did either of you have intense cravings for sugar when you started, and if so, for how long? That was my problem last time I went on the Atkins.

I agree. I've been off all starch and sugar for about 10 years and have had all good readings ever since: weight,
cholesterol, lipids. Whoever said cutting red meats out
solves weight problems is probably depending on the NEA for
his health advice. One more thing we can thank them for
besides that lack of learning in our kids is the veggie
religion which is ruining their health!
