I only looked into the original Atkins way back when everyone was having overladen plates of fry ups! Now I know the NEW Atkins has amended all sorts of things to make them healthier...

I lost 5 stones with SW about three years ago and then it just kind of stopped and I got disheartened. I am a bit of a pig so I worry I wouldn't be able to control myself on Atkins - at least with Dr Doo Doo I am kind of going without so much that i am almost better off not having them at all than being having to measure and limit what I have. Basiclly I am a lazy greedy cow

Definately once you find what suits stick with it 100% its the finding what suits thats hard! I was lucky with Atkins, it fitted me but its not for everyone. x

Yeah but I agree with you yes and no...
Cos stabilising the loss after Dukan or Atkins ain't easy! I've lost it several times before with Dukan but, because of my behavioural issues, can't stabilise it.
Surely for any diet to work, one has to lose the weight AND stabilise it off... without TOO much effort.
Or am I aiming too high?
Just yesterday, I was saying to Vicky off thread that I think I'm pretty resigned now to using Dukan to get to a weight I can accept myself at, and then continuing the 80/20 to stabilise cos Conso never worked for me...
open the door ajar and I'll force it WIDE OPEN...

Totally agree with you Jo, having maintained after my first loss with dukan.... the 80/20 kept me at my lowest (roughly speaking) while out of ketosis....I'm treating my Dukan journey as triphasic...

2-3 tbs... but it depends how carb heavy yr mayo is. Key is 15g carbs from veg then the rest has to fit into the remaining 5g on induction. x

At least with 80/20, us errr "fillers" can be errr "filled" once a week at least!

And as a serial dieter, I'm perfectly happy dieting most of the time!

Vicky - when you post your Atkins menu, is it difficult for you to post the carb grammes and quantities too (ie copy from Fitness Pal here?). I'd be really curious to learn more about carb grammes, but know I'm too lazy to go onto FP to find it regularly!
