Atkins diet

Just a note to anyone looking to lose weight. I've always been active and in shape but the last 7 years (yup, since i've been married) I've put on a ton of weight. I believe in hard work and exercise but some of the hype I've been hearing about Atkins intrugued me. My family has a bunch of fitness freaks and they were also telling me all the benefits of a low carb diet.
Well on 8/5, I went to the atkins website and began a hardcore atkins diet. I also starting running again, less than 3 miles 4 times a week. I followed the atkins plan religiously, I did not deviate at all.
On 8/5 I weighed 215, today I weigh 186. 29 pounds in less than 2 months. I have a lot of energy, I feel great, I dont have food cravings. I used to suck down a bag of Doritos in 10 minutes. I eat 3 meals a day and dont feel the need to snack. My goal is 175.
I eat a lot of meat, cheese and salads. If you're a meat lover, this diet may work for you.
Check out www.atkins.com

SOme tips, drink tons of water., dont get caught up on all the atkins frienedly snacks offered in stores, its still snacking, you're on a diet.
Any ? PM me. It was pretty easy to lose 29 pounds.
