[Diver Down]

My first time on Atkins lasted about six weeks (all induction). I lost 30 pounds or so. Then, due to family pressure, I attended a big dinner and devoured tons of food in a carb-heavy food at an Italian restaurant. It was like giving drugs to an addict...after that meal, in the weeks that followed, I went nuts for carbs and gained it all back in no time. I tried induction again, a year later, and lasted about three weeks (losing about 20 pounds in the process). But I couldn't last, and went back to carbs in full force.
