Hi Celia, I do have that same problem about being able to stick to anything including Atkins. Until I surrendered. I can't beat sugar or flour, so I gave up on trying to eat them in any type of moderation.

The plan I'm on is similar to Atkins, but with some guidelines as to how much of what foods. It works for me because I have support from people doing what I'm doing in OA meetings. So I guess I have an advantage.
