Hi Mija Yep, Atkins had years to perfect this way of eating, and it really does work best if you follow his plan! And following the ladder and learning how many carbs you can eat will set you up well to do this WOE for life! Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the board, Mija! You've come to the right place for the support and encouragement you'll need to lose those 70 pounds. So drink your water, get some exercise, read the book, (2002 version) and post often.
