I was on the Atkins diet for 2mos. and did'nt lose a pound.
On the other hand, my sister lost approx.
60 pounds.
Some in the 2 mos. that I was on and gave up and she continued on. Our body shapes are different.
She would be more pear shaped and I'm apple shaped.
We were eating the same foods.
I bought the book and she did'nt.
Go figure! I think the differences in our shapes played a role.
