whataboutbob, you will get used to the healthy foods and learn to really love eating them. Not only do they make you feel better and look better, but when you cheeat once in a while and eat something bad you can really feel how nasty and heavy that crap is in your stomach. Right now it is hard because you are still addicted to those highly addictive carbs. Keep them lower then normal and keep whatever carbs that you do eat before dinner. Carbs in the evening is bad news. They just end up storing at night and making a home in your belly as fat. My advice is to stick with a balanced healthy diet and avoid the atkins plan. It is much too difficult to keep active and exercising while on the atkins diet because of the lack of energy you will have. Our body was made to use fat and carbs as energy and the atkins plan tweaks your system so that you are using protein and fat instead. Not only that but being in the state of ketosis (which is how atkins works) is not a healthy thing to do for long periods of time. Balanced diets coupled with exercise is the absolute healthiest way to shed weight, simple as that.
