sorry, not familiar with your British lingo. what's a stone? "Last year i was 9 stone..." etc

Low carb diets do work. And as far as I can see healthy as well. 4 years ago I lost 50 lbs and never felt better. I always had a good appetite when meal time came but never had hunger pangs. Also, even if you over eat at a meal, you never feel over stuffed and bloated. Like Joe P says, if you feel yourself inching your way back up, just cut back a little on the carbs. If you don't let yourself slip too far, a few days to a week should have you tip-top again.

When will misinformed people like you stop? Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice doing his usual walking routine during a very cold spring in NYC. He hit his head on the sidewalk, and suffered a brain hemorrhage. As to your relative's death, I'm sorry. But properly followed, a low carb diet will not cause coronary disease.

Somehow the first part of my post got deleted. It was directed to the person who claimed Dr. Atkins died of a heart attack

I have battled with my weight all of my life. It makes me so mad to read what some of these ignorant people say about the simplicity of losing and maintaining a healthy weight! Do you think if it were that easy you would see any overweight people walking around? if you ever see a group of one or more overweight people these nuts probably think we're talking about fudge recipes. No studies show that the thing we're spending most of our time talking about is how to lose weight so we don't heve to die too early because of this horrible disease called obesity. So,please stop labeling us. We're not contagious!
