    Things top 10 things I love about Atkins

    10. Being able to eat steak, chicken, fish, pork, shrimp, and crab with butter and know that this is GOOD for me.

    9. No carb mood swings.

    8. Eating less makes me feel LIGHT and agile!

    7. Learning to love vegetables.

    6. Laughing when my friends say Atkins is "dangerous" (though they're saying
    this less and less as I loose weight).

    5. Decaf Green Tea

    4. Adapting delicious Thai recipes for low-carb dining.

    3. One word BBQ!

    2. Knowing that everytime I wake up in the morning chances are I'm smaller, lighter, and happier.

    1. After 30 years FINALLY realizing I have my weight issue under control!

                  So true!!
                  I have only really done any serious exercising for the last month or so and I get so disappointed if something crops up that means I have to miss one of my sessions at the gym!
                  Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                  Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
