Hi,
I'm 44 yo & 163 cm (5' 3") tall. I started ANA at the beginning of June 2005 and so far have lost 12 kgs (26 lbs).
I am a serial dieter, I can pretty much lose weight on any diet but need to learn how to keep it off. When I started ANA I was not really committed to this WOE but have moved from someone who needed to see significant weight loss each week into someone who really believes that this time I will not only lose the weight but I will be able to keep it off and I am no longer concerned with how long it takes me to lose the excess weight.
I actually think that I have quite a high CCLL as most of my problems on Atkins have stemmed from not eating enough carbs. When I stall, weight loss invariably resumes when I up my carbs by 5g a day.
I'm currently in OWL (35g to 40g carbs per day) and have 22 kgs (50 lbs) left to lose. What I do need is help on doing OWL properly. I've seen lots of references to the carb ladder but have difficulty extracting this from DANDR (I have the 1999 version). I hope this doesn't offend but in my personal opinion Dr A was a great doctor but a woeful writer.
I'm looking forward to the advice I can get here.
How did I find this site? Actually I did a Google search on 'Atkins' and after checking out a number of anti-Atkins sites found this one.
