It's easy to go on Atkins. But I find it hard to stick to it. especially with 2 small kids. The time it takes to cook meals and prepare lunches is sometimes just unavailable.

However, I'm here to try again. I had great success in the late 90s with the diet. I lost 75 pounds in about a year, and I felt great. I stayed on the diet for 2 years and then bought a house, and things fell apart....

Anyway, I've been having a great day. I started on the diet at 2:00 PM yesterday, and the first thing I noticed was that pain in my arthritic hip was cut in half in about a hour. Now I don't believe anything can really work that fast, but anything that keeps me from limping around, I'll take.
