Hi all, first post other than introduction. I follow my own plan after four attempts at Atkins, and I really don't have a set menu, I don't count calories, and I try to keep carbs under 30. Anyhow, I read in one of the magazines that you get at the checkout counter that if you eat about an ounce of peanuts a day, it speeds up your weight loss, so I have tried it, and it seems to work. The weeks I have run out of peanuts, I have had little to no loss; weeks I have eaten peanuts, I have lost 4-6 lb. Has anyone else tried this?
