The thing is, the diet has been around for years (what, 30 years?), however
it is a fad lately, I will agree.
There are so many other "low carb" diets out there (Suzanne sommers has even
gotten in on it), and so many claim that it works.
Actually, I knew someone in Minnesota who managed to loose 45 lbs on it, but
he was actually considered very large (like 250 lbs).

anyhow, as I said in my post, I tried that diet, and eventually hit my wall.
I hit it pretty fast actually, after loosing only 15 lbs, I found it hard to
increase my cardio workout time to 2 hours plus just to continue to see
results.
I am not a skinny person by default, but I as I mentioned, not flabby fat.
so the best I can hope for is to shed the fat which is there and then build
muscle, lead a healthier lifestyle (exercise, eat right), and keep the
weight off. That is why I asked about how much back to "normal" a person
gets after the initial phase of Atkins.

Thanks.
