I think that no one really understands the extent that which alot of americans are addicted to carbs. maybe not you, but I know for me, that I can't just have one cookie. Or any other high carb item. Self-control is great if you have it. I personally don't have much...in many areas of my life. I know plenty of people who are able to be on low-calorie balanced diets. But I also know plenty of people for whom it doesnt work. I know I have lost the weight eating that way, but I ALWAYS gain it back. I've had years of dieting, gaining the weight, losing the weight, and the cycle repeated. I have had enough. So I decided to try Atkins. I personally don't eat much fat because it makes me sick, but I stay away from the carbs and hopefully, I'm going to lose the weight.
Just because you don't think Atkins makes sense, theres no need to bash it. And before you bash, do a little research. Thanks.
