I have been calorie counting since febuary-done well. But now i seem to be all over the map with it. Thinking about a change for a while and was going to go back to atkins for the summer since i had such sucess with it after my 3rd baby was born-maybe to due to the stirctiness of if-pretty sure that is what i need. anyhow looking for buddies for support who are doing atkins..anyone out there?

    I usually drink and atkins shake in the am because I know I must have breakfast and it's a good compromise since I'm not a breakfast person. I also sub for lunch when I am really not hungry to eat my salad. If I get home in the evening and it's late and I'm still hungry I may do a shake or bar before working out. In general, Atkins is a meal replacement at least 5-6 times a week. Drinking lots of water curbs appetite but I know I need the fuel to workout. Hope this helps.

    I'm doing Dukan, which is similar.

    So like with Atkins, do you still calorie count or does the restricted carbs intake make you not absorb calories?

    I am, feel free to add me. My losses have been great so far.

    You count carbs instead of calories. I'm sort of counting calories as well since I need to track my carb intake anyway but I can eat almost twice as many cals to lose the same amount of weight now.

    I am on a low carb diet but way I did it was when I set my goals on MFP, I used the cutom feature and dialed down my carbs to 35 percent of normal. Its kind of an real easy way to do a low carb diet.

    I did the same as Seadog and just tweaked my carb and protein ratios a little whilst still watching those calories. Worked for me and is giving me a more balanced diet which I am very comfortable doing.

    I still calorie count because I only use atkins as a meal substitute
