Is anyone counting calories doing the Atkins diet? Just wondering how that works..just meat & vegetables?

    Start there. There's also a recipe thread in the group's forum if you need ideas.

    Several years ago it worked very well for me; 13% loss in <2 months. Eventually gained it all back (my own fault).

    Currently I'm using MFP to track Calories and it's working better (for me). Other than a little Basmati rice here and there, I'm virtually eating Atkins food except less fat.

    There's no need for calorie counting with proper atkins (no more than 20g of carbs a day), fat is very satiating and without carbs, your body cannot store all those calories you eat.
    If atkins seems too restricting, you could try Bulletproof diet.

    Be prepared...the crap storm of negative posts are coming! Do not take it to heart, and check out the low carb group and also Atkins.com. It lays everything out for you for free.
