Default Re: Questions about Atkins

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I have read parts of the book. I need to get through all of it because I really misunderstood some things. I didn't realize that those things would make such a difference.

I naturally cut my caloric intake down because I am just not as hungry. I kept it down because I thought even if the Atkins diet doesn't work for me, I will still lose weight at this calorie range. Its just strange because I have read places that even taking in around 40 carbs you will still lose weight. A doctor told my mom if she could limit it 60-80 a day she would lose weight. So even if I am taking in these hidden carbs, I should still be very low on carbs. But I guess everyone is different. I still don't get why I am gaining. But now I see why I am not losing. Thank you guys!
