hi i am starting atkins today. I did it about 10 years ago and kept the weight off for a good while quite easily but it went back on gradually when i stopped counting carbs and guessed. have tried lots of other diets since then but nothing else seems to get rid of cravings!!!! i know i need to keep control of the carbs. would love any advice. i have bought the new book, atkins has changed from the way it was 10 years
