    25 Things I love about the Atkins routine

    1. I never have to think about what to eat. I know what foods and recipes are acceptable, and I enjoy them.

    2. Most forbidden foods don't cause me more than 3 seconds of "I wish"-ing.

    3. I spend less on eating out than I do on books.

    4. No bloating!

    Add yours.......

              3. I get to buy more clothes
              4. I feel great
              5. No fatigue
