I agree 100%. My wife and I began an Atkins diet this month. Within 5 days I had more energy than in the last 15 years (i’m 55).My joints feel much more limber. My blood pressure the last 2 evenings was less than 120/80.My wife’s blood sugar was running 125-130 for years, in the last 3 weeks she has checked it as 118,109,106,102,96.I am very noticeably more mentally alert. Haven’t fallen asleep in meetings or Church.
My boss and his wife started the same diet a week after us and have announced parallel results.
Oh.and another nice bonus; i have lost 25 lbs.

I’ve been on Atkins for years. I’m on the maintenance part of the diet. I allow myself one cheat day per week. I have to say that I have more energy, can dance up a storm and have no diabetes, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, etc. I have my doctor’s permission to party hardy! LOL

If I cheat too much, I suffer the consequences. I bloat up, I have less energy and I feel like I’m dragging around a thousand pounds. My acid reflux problem returns.

The Atkins diet works and works well.
