Loving the Cambridge Diet
I did Atkins for a long long time and it does work.
However, it is still very difficult to eat out anywhere due to needing next-to-no carbs.
What about trying low GI?
Or what about doing Cambridge on the 1000 Plan? That might help.

Losing the baby fat
weight watchers is a good plan, it helps keep the fat intake low - it's healthy, plus you get the support and it gets you out for an hour. And you can keep using points forever.
There is a book out called the adventures of diet girl, well worth a read. i'm reading it now and she went to weight watchers.

Her blog!
I did Atkins once. In the first two weeks you lower your carb intake to less than 20 grams. After that, you raise it slowly til you reach your CCL (the level of carbs you can eat and still lose weight). After the induction phase of 2 weeks, you reintroduce fruit, and you must eat your salad and vegetables, etc. I would recommend getting the book if you are going to do it, because it really does explain it much better than the traditional 'you eat no carbs' viewpoint. That's not true, and the simple method of doing Atkins doesn't have to be mega high in fat.
Good luck :vibes:
