Atkins Diet ?

[tandkvd]

Wow, I guess I hit a nerve talking about diet. So thats how so many people are getting rich writing diet books, every bodys interested.

My problem is that my work has changed. Instead of climbing ladders and turning wrenches, a big part of my job now is to sit at a desk, write proposals and talk on the phone. I know I need to get more exercise, that is my first goal.

I was concerned about the colosteral because mine has been high for about the last five years. My wife has read that alot of peoples colosterol goes down with this diet. I'm glad to know beforehand that some of you have had it go the oposite way.

I keep telling my wife that it's just a matter of simple math. Burn more calories than you take in. Sounds easy huh! But I don't guess that would be a long enough book to get rich on.

My down fall is the Deadly Sins: White Potatos, White Bread, Pasta and CHOCOLATE.

Thanks for the input. I would agree that the lo-carb, lo-fat and cut way back on the Deadly Sins is the best way to go. Along with more exercise.
