      My main reason is that it is so darn easy. I never felt like I was giving up anything. All the other diets seeemed to starve me and get my system out of whack. Not this one. Never have I felt better. A big high five to the sky for DR. A.

        Another reason: Looking so good you're actually giving the fitness and diet tips, rather than receiving them!!!

          So I will be able to go to the PORCUPINE TREE concerts this summer and have an awesome time without having to hide my stomach with my arms, and shy away from anyone I know!

          ... Also... If I ever get the chance to meet Mr. Sylvian... I don't want him thinking: "Wow... She's LITERALLY my biggest fan!"

          ... To be able to get on stage with a fretless and look smokin'

          OH YEAH can't forget... Custom made white leather New-wave suit... 'nuff said...

                YES!!!

                All of you guy's reasons are so GREAT! They totaly outweigh the reasons to NOT diet:

                1. Carbs and sugar taste good

                There's probably a few more but ah well.

                  Just like an alcoholic or a junkie can relapse into their addiction with one drink or fix, so can we re-addict ourselves to carbs by ceasing to eat Atkins WOE that gives us remission from those cravings.

                    Going back to land-based sex - no more relying on the ocean, swimming pool, hot tub or rain-filled ditch to make you feel light enough so that you're not crushing your opponent.

                      I don't know if I can top that last one pizza dude! (no pun intended...sexual, or pizza related.)

                      But...because it feels good to have your Dr. believe in you for a change...lol.
