Having just read the most recent Atkins book, as well as loads of internet research (good and bad), I'm still a bit sceptical.
I understand and accept the science behind the diet and the importance of ketosis. It seems to make perfect sense.
HOWEVER
Many of the studies say that the Atkins diet is great for a short time but often unsustainable, and that people usually regain much of their weight afterwards.
Having been with slimming world for a year, tho only losing a stone, i have at least learned how to maintain my weight.
I fear that re-awakening a taste for cream, hard cheese and porkfat may undo everything that i have managed to achieve.
And what about the constipation that i've read about??
I would welcome some input from successful Atkins maintainers.
