Looking for friends who are doing Atkins/Low Carb.

Hey! I am doing a low carb diet now, but not Atkins. I've done Atkins in the past though, and have lost 45 lbs, so it definitely works! But over the span of a year, I gained it all back. Once I lost the weight, I just went crazy over carbs because I was thin, and thought I could eat without gaining a ton of weight. WRONG. Anyway, I'm back to low carb now, cause it definitely works well! But this time, I'm eating fruits, which Atkins doesn't allow, eating nuts, which Atkins doesn't allow during Induction Phase, and I'm eating beans once in a while if I'm craving starchy carbs, which Atkins doesn't allow. Also, as many vegetables as I please ( and meats of course). Eggplant is my new favorite.

And tracking the net carb, which My Fitness Pal doesn't do unfortunately, I try to stay under 100 a day. I've lost 4 lbs in about 8 days so far. Anyway, let me know if you need motivation, tips, recipes, etc. I'll be here!

I do South Beach with is not just low carb, but good carb. It's less restrictive than Atkins. I always lose, especially around the waist with this program. But, the biggest bonus is that I feel so much better.

diets dont work... eat less workout more and you will see results

I eat the Atkins Diet Foods for snacks, bars or shakes, in the morning of if I need something to eat an hour before I work out but those no carb diets always end up biting you in the butt because you have to have carbs to do any type of workout. Gotta have energy and have it naturally through food and not solely on supplements. Usually if you starve your body of something it will end up creating a craving and can get you in the end by storing fat.
