Default low carb fad diets do work in the short-term

Hi !

Well I lost 80 pounds over 3 years ago and I must say that at the time
Atkin's worked for me I have kept that off and am trying to lose a remaining
20ish pounds on WW.At the time,I needed a plan that would show results
quickly to keep me motivated.And I spent a mere 9 bucks on the book.Lately
(since sept.2) I have been following this plan as I was headed for a huge
carb a rama.I have actually gained 2 pounds and although I have not had
sccess at the scale or even a clothes change I must say that i feel good.No
better or worse that on Atkin's.I think no one has the answer it's just what
works for you keeps you motivated at the time and is reasonable health
wise.My doctor is doing Atkins' himself and was very happy with what I
did,and understands my need to change to a different plan at this point.
A signature line on this and many sites is very true....Your mileage may
vary...and of course this is only my opinion.
