In all honesty give Weight Watchers a shot. I lost 50 lbs doing that before. It teaches you how to portion your meals as well as lets you eat what you want.

With Atkins, I know its part of the Diet....but 1 pound of bacon CAN'T be good for you

no one tells you to eat bacon, dont believe the hype or TV. You can eat all the bacon you want, but you can also eat chicken breast and salads all the time too. It all depends on what will work best for you. No matter what diet you follow, you need to exercise.
If you want atkins:
www.atkins.com
has all you need to know.

Exactly - put some common sense into it. Don't put away a 2 pound T-Bone, have poerk, or chicken, or FISH

You don't need a pound of bacon, but two strips on top of an egg (and after 2 weeks in a low carb pita bread - yum )

I need to go back real soon but right now I'm day 10 or 11 (itsallablurrr) of another "health" improving deed

Dont eat all sorts of junk food and excersise and you'll lose weight. Common sense really! But im not fat so what do i know. But i wanted to drop a few lbs and just cut back on the junk and went to the gym a few times a week and went from 180-170 since the summer and gained some good muscle. Just use common sense and you'll that weight

It was only Sarcasm. I know your not really going to live off a pound of bacon.

I just suggested weight watchers because it worked for both me and my wife, You don't have to purchase any pre-packaged food from them, and because you don't really have to stop eating certain things or only eat certain things.

It really focuses on learning to eat the right portions.......Not Supersizing everything

I did eat pounds of buffalo wings though,,,,and still lost weight

Unfortunately not healthy on Either Diet plan

when you want to keep a house warm with a wood stove...you don't cram it so full of wood that nothing more can fit in...and then let it burn out and then start over again....

what you do is to keep putting a log in to maintain the fire in the stove so that it puts out consistant heat...

your metabolism is quite similar ....so if you keep the fire burning with a small log your burning fuel more efficently....otherwise you just store what you dont need imdiately til later when eating a big meal.
and....
when you starve yourself to loose weight your body says i'm gonna preserve this amount of fat for emergencies and will burn up muscle tissue first before it burns the fat . But when you create more muscle mass then you've increased the proverbial size of your wood stove until your metabolism is working even at rest.

hope this analogy makes sense
