I'm not really one to talk about diets but I believe that eating less doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose weight, in fact eating a little bit every couple hours will accelerate your metabolism and will help you burn fat, if you're not eating enough, your body will hang on to whatever fats go into it and you can gain weight. Of course it's important to whatch what you eat too and make sure you're diet is well balanced, like if you don't eat meat, be sure to eat other kinds of protein.

May I suggest cabbage soup between meals or beet soup. Eating nothing white will also help you achieve your goals too. Best Wishes In a message dated 11/23/2009 7:15:58 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Still hoping for any other Atkins Attempters out there ... but for now I thought I'd let ya'all know what I *do* currently eat. B-fast: 1/2 serving non-fat or low-fat, sugar-free yogurt and 3-4 prunes. Lunch: Nothing... I nibble all day at the following snack... Snack: 1/2 serving (or less) dry Grape Nuts cereal. Dinner: Veggies (broccoli, green beans or asparagus) with, A) Low-fat, skinless chicken breast with 1/2 cup rice, B) 1.5 small corn tamales (no meat fat and low fat cheese), or C) Medium fish fillet with low-sodium seasoning, and a little rice. We don't use salt and pepper (don't even own shakers -- we just looked at each other like "Duh?" the first time we had guests over and one requested S&P! [was kinda funny!]) Veggies and rice (or corn masa) make up most of my calories -- plus a few from the cereal and prunes. I very rarely snack on anything other than my daily cereal snack -- which is just given to me each morning in a cup that I carry on my chair with me all day. So, given that, I kinda doubt I'm over-eating. And if I started eating any less than that I'd proably be very much under-eating (if I'm not already). THIS is why I'm looking at an alternate diet. Any thoughts?
