I just thought I'd interject here, that people misunderstand the Atkins diet, and believe that you can not have fruits and vegetables. The opposite was actually true for me. I cut out the unnatural carbs (suger filled junk, and white flower products), and the weight fell off (almost 10 inches off the waist worth). If I wanted carbs, I grabbed an apple, or some other fruit. If I was going to have bread, it was whole grain. If I wanted something sweet, I'd go for watermelon, or something else natural. Compare the amount of carbs in fruit and the carbs in candy. You will be amazed. You can have more fruit than you'll want, and still most likely (depending on your body) will lose weight. As for Veggies... most green leefy veggies have next to no carbs. I eat more broccoli, salad, cauliflower, etc than I ever had before. As zuma said, don't eliminate the complex carbs. Just work on reducing the unnatural junk. Dr. Atkins said in his book, refined sugar and refined flower as we know it today, are relatively new to mankind/womankind and the consumption of them positively corrolates to the increase in obesity in the U.S. I'm no doctor, but I believe reducing those alone, you might see results... I did. Good luck.
