I don't think your post goes here but this is what I think about atkins...
You don't want to eat all the meat you can on atkins (if you stuff yourself all the time you wont lose as much), but just enough to stop hunger. the high protein is the key, it stops you from feeling hungry. It is a great diet but when you get the weight off it will come back fast if you don't keep your volume and carbs down. I love the foods I can eat on atkins, it has been really easy.
Sincerely,
Eric
