[QUOTE=JL53563]You gained weight on Atkins because your bodyfat was probably too low. 10-12% is considered essential for women. This is the minimum amount your body needs to fuction properly. Most top women athletes are in the 14-20% range, which of course is still quite low.[/QUOTE


Thanks, I realize that now, as of yesterday I QUIT Atkins. More than 15% bodyfat is tooooo much for me.
