QueenBee, not trying to put down what you're doing. I purposely said Atkins regime, not diet, because I wasn't talking about losing weight. It's basically a diet free of wheat and sugar, and you mentioned you could have a lot of the types of food that keep you satisfied and not hungry all the time, which is true of Atkins too. So it sounded similar to me. My husband has followed the Atkins tenets for years and maintains a good weight and health.

Unfortunately, when I've tried it, it's caused weight gain. I'm glad it's working so well for you.
