Atkins is the way for me.
After trying many different thing even other low carb plans, I have finally decided that Atkins is the way for me. Came back to read a lot of this on 3fc Low carb thread and as usual Kim you inspired me. This is day 3 for me and I actually am not having all the withdrawal reactions I had when I tried this years ago. I think that maybe it is because I was doing other types of low carb programs. I had started really gaining weight again and at my age of 66, I just can't let myself gain all my weight back. I have actually dropped 4.5 lbs since I started Saturday. I know that is normal for the Induction time, but I am so thrilled that the scales are going down again. Also, that didn't happen when I did Atkins many years ago. I think I have a better understanding of the plan this time.
Any way just wanted to share. I think it is good to learn what does and doesn't work for us individually. There aren't anything wrong with the other plans, they just didn't work for me or fit my lifestyle. Atkins does. I wasn't sure about Atkins since it didn't work for me when I was in my 30s. But decided from reading more info that I didn't do it right before so wanted to give it another try. I am so glad that I did.
