I wish I had more experience with Atkins - but I wanted to say i'm in the same boat as you are. I started on Saturday and so far - I'm actually loving this new way of eating - but mainly, for me - it's because I haven't gotten "sick" since saturday - no joking, carbs make me sick. .

But I too haven't lost anything yet either - however - I absolutely REFUSE to let that deter me. I've been listening to a TON of low-carb podcasts I found on itunes (there's a few different ones) as well as trying to read the book when I get a chance - and for me, I keep reminding myself - this isn't just for weightloss, it really IS for health.

I'm VERY excited that I'm flushing out all of the sugar and white flour and other carbs out of my body. Plus, I know - for me - it'll take more exercise (which I'm slowly getting back into after a 5 month hiatus). But I keep reminding myself that this really IS the healthy way to go.

Natural meats - natural fat - and tons of vegees. That is a MUCH better diet than a low-fat (when you're constantly hungry), high carb/sugar (when I constantly feel like crap becuase of the insulin spikes...) diet.

Yes - it's extremely frustrating that I'm not losing as fast as so many others I've seen here and on other blogs have - but I know it WILL happen. After all - Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

You just have to keep pushing and remember that you're changing your lifestyle to be healthier, NOT just to lose weight and then go back to eating junk food. right?

I wish you luck and just stick with it. There's too many success stories out there (especially on this board) to think that this plan doesn't work. It may take a while longer than some - but it WILL happen.
