However I do have a friend who was on it and she lost a lot of weight, a low carb diet is just not for me...

There is fruit and there is fruit . There are vegetables and there are vegetables .
I am transitioning from my modified Atkins to a real Atkins because I started reading the information on the amount of carbs in the fruits (and fruit drink) I was adding and realized I was completely blowing the whole low carb premise .
I have been on the diet for for four days and have lost zero (and gained zero). I had added consistent excercise to my routine which probably balanced out the bad modification I was making.
I must also say that I have been very full, so we'll see if that changes without the bad fruits and veggies (I still will have good fruits and veggies).
Thhhhats all folks.
