If you have any advice me and my 5,0000lb body would appreciate it!After taking various AD for 4 years I was about 50 pounds overweight (I was already 20 ponds overweight before I started on AD. Back in Dec. I started on the Atkins diet I have spoke to 3 Dr's about it and got mixed reviews about the long term health benefits. In any case I have lost 30 pounds and feel well and at first was eating a ton of "approved" foods but the diet seems to stopped my cravings and I am now eating normally without always being hungry.
