I would have expected someone who had lost "30 pounds in six weeks" his first time and "20 pounds in 20 days" his second time to realize he is not metabolically resistant. Because if you read the whole book, you would know how Dr. Atkins defined metabolic resistance. Anyway, I hope you now know that you are not metabolically resistant.  Quote: |

I just wanted to mention this backstory to explain why I'd started with meat and eggs only.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
