> To answer your questions about why I gave up Atkins. My hair started falling out by the handsful. I was noticably getting widows peaks (and I am female). After some research on the Net I found this is fairly common with Atkins. It took a month for it to stop, and only after buying a bunch of different supplements at GNC they recommended. I also got tired off all the meat and fat. It got old FAST. I lost the weight very fast, and then it kind of stalled. It's a pretty radical diet and it gets hard to stick to. As far as your question about being a vegeterian and doing Atkins, pretty much impossible. Atkins is centered around meat and cheese. You can't eat fruit and very few vegetables. No dairy either (except cream). I personally don't know anyone who has done it, lost weight and then was able to eat healthy/normally again. The only two people I know that have lost it and kept it off stay on Atkin's all the time. I found it dried my skin severely and made me very fatigued and left me feeling fluish. Just my opinion.
