    Beths "5 stone to lose" atkins diary.

    Hi beth, I would have thought your america trip would be ok, i'm sure its quite low carb friendly there, I'm also jealous of all that fresh fish went to a fish BBQ in cornwall last year and had shark....it was really lush. I can't find it up north :(

    How to deal with comments?

    It depends on the comment, when people just point out that I'd lost weight recently, I don't know what to say (seems a bit pointless) but if people say I look good, I usually say thanks followed by 'i feel good'. Its crazy how many people feel about complimenting/complements. Sooo many times...

    thinking of switching to Weightwatchers

    What starlight says is right, its about finding the right diet for you. I've switch from a VLCD and although I will lose slower I'm much happier and not constantly consumed by thoughts of food (more so than not being on a diet) Whatever you choose, good luck....we will all succeed in the end ;)

    bloated

    Hi, I had this for a couple of days i don't know why but I think it had something to do with eating really fatty meat. I had a chow down on belly pork which I really like. I cut it out and have pork chops (still with fat) and it helped.. Someone else might be able to help more :) W x
