Wow Exotec, that is pretty impressive. Congrats on the 150 lbs!

Would love to be buddies or in a group with all of you. Let me know if you form a group. I'm not quite 50 - in my late 40's and I have 50 more lbs to lose. Lost 25 so far. If you'll take me I'm in. To pikwik - I believe with all my heart - and from the doctors screening results - that this is a very healthy diet. Don't let the nay sayers get you down about this diet.

Count me in too. I've been on Atkins on and off for many years, plus have tried so many other diets I don't care to mention, but this time I have FINALLY gotten it through my thick skull that I must make this a life style change and not a temp. diet! It's the only diet that I feel amazing on, never hungry and my health improves drastically - so I'm in it for life this time! I'm no expert that is for sure. Have lost 25 lbs and about 50 more to go. Welcome MJ!

Thanks for the tips! Fajitas it will be!

Okay low carbers out there - is there anything on the Azteca menu that will work on induction phase? I've been searching the net to find nutritional information on Azteca and I'm coming up with nothing. Help!

Thanks CTLSS, I'll follow your advise and see how that works!

Ya NCNOLE I have to agree with you on the Doc. It seems he jumps on too many band wagons without really researching it. It's going to get him into trouble one of these days. I've caught him contradicting himself from one show to another on a couple of occasions, and if I took all the supplements he recommends, that is all I would be doing all day is popping pills. But, some supplements do help so I'm curious if anyone has used this one with results.

Well CTLSS, I was bad today (and Friday Night) - and wrote that in my journal. But overall I think I've been good. I went on about a week back in January where I had to add quite a few veggie smoothies to get the system working - and trying to detox. Feeling much better now and getting back to Atkins, but not dropping fast. About 15 years ago I did atkins (the old atkins) and lost 30 lbs in 30 days. It was amazing. I will definitely stick with it because I feel fantastic. Just getting inpatient.

I'm struggling a bit on Atkins - not with following it - I love the diet, but the pounds just aren't coming off like it did in earlier years. I was looking at your success CTLSS and was wondering what differences their are between Atkins and the Primal diet you also incorporate. You've had great success it looks like. What's your secret? As far as the Raspberry Ketones - Dr. Oz disussed it on his show yesterday as a "Miracle Fat Burner" and people are flocking to the health food stores trying to find it so I was wondering if anyone had tried it.

Has anyone jumped on this Raspberry Ketone craze and if so, what have the results been?
