I'm new to this forum,too!I've used the Atkins program since '99 and have been able to keep off most of 50+ lbs. ...til the holidays snuck up on me this year! I started back today because I feel like...yuck! I just don't want to undo what I've accomplished. As a WW victim for many years, this is the first program that has been effective for me. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and after months of medication and daily blood sugar tests, it was enough...I knew I had to do something. Don't know where I heard about lo-carb diets but I'm glad I did...My blood sugar returned to normal within days..along with my blood pressure and cholesterol. I also have Multiple Sclerosis (don't think lo-carbs can help that!) but that's a whole other forum! Hope I can make some new friends and learn a few new things and maybe help a bit myself!
