Hi, I am new to post at minimims but have been looking at the threads for the last few weeks. Have tried every diet under the sun like most of you. Have decided to return to Atkins which i had great success on about 10 years ago, the only diet where i kept the weight off for any length of time. that was when i knew very little about dieting, now i am a bit afraid of the thought of eating fat........having been brainwashed by all other diets that fat is bad.
