There's more to the Atkins diet than bacon, LOL!
     If you're familiar with the Atkins diet, you know that you get to eat  things that  other diets can't - but there's a lot more benefits.
1. A lot less hunger. One thing that really stinks about dieting is bieng hungry all the time. On Atkins, I get hungry only if it's been 5-6 hours since I last ate, so I can concentrate on other things. I can't tell you how much I love that freedom! My energy stays nice and steady, even when I'm on my bike all day.
2. The fat comes off in the right places. I can't say if this is the same for others, but this has been my experience:  On Atkins my stomach and thighs shrink first! WOO HOO! Last time I was on a low cal/low fat diet, my bra was suddenly empty. Not on this diet! :D
3. Hair/Skin/Nails. I love this!  Within a month of bieng on Atkins, my skin clears up, my nails grow  faster and stronger, and my hair grows in better.
