Read the original Atkins book in 1972. Didn't go with it until the 90s and lost 35 pounds in 4 months and kept it off until the mid 2000s. Stressed out in 10s and now back on Atkins since February 2018 and lost 4 pounds in a month. OK with that because I know when I do something wrong. I will stay on Induction for quite sometime until I am comfortable again and lose at least 10 pounds more and then move to owl. I know how to maintain and I also know when it goes off the rails.
