Default Re: Ready to give up! (vent warning)

Even Dr. Atkins said that his diet was not for everyone. You have to at least believe that this is something you could do for a lifetime for it to work.

I did start out not liking: meat, mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, avocado, pork rinds, breakfast and many other Atkins foods, but I kept trying them until I learned to like them, some of them too much.

If you don't think you can stick it out until you can cultivate a taste for Atkins foods, then you are right to seek out the diet you can live with for the rest of your life.
