the time I whole heartedly did atkins, I lost 20 lbs (what I needed to) and kept it off for a few years. Once I hit goal, I maintained this by having about three free MEALS (not whole days!) per week. It worked well. I pretty much had to be on induction levels the other days as I never could be at the other levels and not gain.
Since then I was off Atkins but very mindful of carbs (rare dessert, few starches, no bread in the house for years) Nevertheless I gained the 20 back. I am just very sensitive I guess
If I can ever get back there again -already I see it is harder now that I hit 40-I will be very strict about my three meals. I think it is important to be able to go out or be a guest at someones home, and not act like a freak about what you can eat.
If I did the carb addicts diet I would be at least 50 lbs heavier.
