I hesitate to answer this question because I don't want to be perceived as an Atkins evangelist.
Nevertheless, here I go.
I picked up the Atkins book when I weighed in at 246lbs. By cutting out most of my carbs and not changing anything else in my lifestyle I easily lost 25 pounds over about 6 months. And I continue....
So that's my story, now here are my dos and don'ts.
*Read the book. Too many people have the wrong idea that you can live on bacon and steak.
*Don't go crazy, you are going to have to eat some carbs, your body needs the energy source to live.
*Don't stay on the induction phase too long.
*Get some fibre into your diet .... pooping becomes a challenge otherwise.
I may add more to this comment later, but I think that about covers it. Good luck.
