I'm 6 weeks into low carb and I've just found this thread. I started out quitting wheat and sugar to curb inflammation and arthritis, and I figured I would go Atkins to maximize weight loss. I've had a hard time believing in the Atkins parameters for long term. I am currently tracking everything so I can learn better portion control, but I look forward to moving on to a no counting low carb lifestlye for life. It's great to see so many on this thread with such great results.

Sean Braxton has a great website called undergroundwellness.com. I like his diet: JERF just eat real food.
