Hello all. I began my journey in January of last year and was very successful with The New Atkins for a New You. In June, I began to see long periods of little or no weight loss and since I still had a ways to go, I decided to go back to the original Atkins plan Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution. It has been wonderful. I look forward to seeing many old and new friends here.

Hello all. I began my journey in January of last year and was very successful with The New Atkins for a New You.

Congratulations on your wonderful success! May I be as successful as you. As I haven't seen the new book, I wonder if you could tell me the difference between them?

The new book (aka NANY) focuses on net carbs and not so much on total carbs. Net carbs are:

Total carbs - fibre & sugar alcohols = net carbs

But I found in June that I needed to keep my total carbs below 50 and now below 30 as I get closer to goal.

I wish you much success.
