Atkins is an amazing
diet where you will never go hungry again yet still lose weight.
This is not a gimmick or the latest fad. The Atkin's Diet has been around for
decades. Most people will lose 10-30 pounds in the first month!
How do they do it? They eat all the meat, cheese, eggs, and fats (like
butter and oils) until they are full. There is no calorie counting or using tasteless low fat foods.
There is no starvation. What is the trick you may ask? Limiting carbohydrates
in your daily food intake.
The amazing thing
with following the Atkin's plan, not only can you eat
delicious food and feel satisfied, but you will feel better mentally and physically.
Your energy level will increase, and you may discover that your
food cravings have relinquished and the need for comfort foods
is no longer necessary.

Why are there so many different carb counts for the same items? I use a calorie tracker that keeps up with carbs and net carbs. It also has a database of food so I can search through it. I get so many different amounts in some things. I have the atkins carb book but some of those figures are off...- Just a question...
