We'll I think me and my fiancee are going off the diet. Mainly because of health concerns. I have been reading many articles on the dangers of the diet, and have found that the diet may be bad for the kidneys. I have found that some mornings my kidneys are hurting and at the same time my urine is a murky orange color. My mother had called me the other night expressing her concern. She knows somebody in the hospital now, who is on dialysis because her kidneys are failing because of the Atkins diet. She said that to much water and too much protein are bad for the kidneys. I think I am going to take her advice and we are joining weight watchers this week. I think that I will still avoid sugar and still use the Stevita in coffee and tea and also when baking. I will also try to avoid white flour at all cost and use whole grains. So good luck to all, I hope everyone is successful in their goals. And have a happy Easter..
