Hi I am very impressed by your loss especially as a fellow South African. Can you tell me what you mean when you say you are on Atkins - whole foods? I have been on atkins for forever and weight loss seems to have stalled. I have no inclination to stop because for the first time food is in it's right place but I would like to know why the weight loss has stopped

Hi Kirsty
With "whole foods" I mean nothing processed, chemically modified, no additives etc. Just natural whole foods such as a piece of steak drowned in garlic & lemon butter, veggies, organic/free range chicken/eggs/? whatever is available. I eat no LC products and don't add any artificial flavourings. Only use sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. I eat a lot of fat. Fry almost everything in olive oil/butter/sesame oil. I drink only water and black Rooibos
My weightloss has now risen to 38lbs in just over two months
Thank you to all the others who have posted in this thread and may you have good successes too

I was a complete chocolate addict! Ate almost 300g of chocolate daily So when I started this new WOL I decided to not feed the craving, but rather starve it to death. And I did. It died It is such a relief to be free from the craving for sweets (especially chocolates!!). When I'm at goal I'll allow myself 2 or 3 squares of Lindt very dark chocolate a month, but only if I can handle it. I wouldn't touch the Canderel chocolate as it contains aspartame and I try to stay very far away from that poison. Remember that aspartame also causes cravings
