I stress eat a lot and I can't make myself stop. The gym has been helping me keep from gaining but I can't lose until I get that under control.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
high protien can be hard on your kidneys
high fat not so good for your heart and arteries- if you have had a heart attack , I'd be more careful.
But the numbers from atkins - are % numbers - not fat grams numbers.
Lots of people end up eating less calories on Atkins, so of couse the % numbers look high. That's my theory anyway.
Even in the later stages - Atkins aims for meals of less than 15 grams of charbohydrates. But - 3 half cup servings of vegetables are about 15 grams of carbohydrates. So think about it - a bit more protien /fat ( maybe 6 onces instead of 4) than average plus 1 and 1/2 cups of veggies - you have a large volume o f food on your plate. 1 serving of fruit - 15 grams of carbohydrate. -- so Turkey sausage and fruit cup for breakfast ( this is the later stages)
what you have really given up is bread, or potatoes,or rice.
for me - I learned that I don't need a traditional starch with every meal - and that only haveing half a baked potato at dinner means there is half a baked potato for lunch or breakfast.
I am never giving up potatoes. or fruit. or pasta.
but I eat a lot less of them

All is well that ends in pizza.
When I was out, I wasn’t getting drunk and eating fat laden junk at 3AM And not drinking the beer at rugby games helped too, I suspect.

I started out eating a lot of high fat stuff. I mean, how much did it rock to have a three egg omelet with cheese and 4 slices of bacon and be on a diet!?!?!? but, the novelty wore off, and I started eating more sensibly. I never stopped doing the induction 20 grams of carbs.
I did it twice, but I didn't lose as much weight the second time. I wasn't as serious, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Poor baby. And you are such a fascist for insisting on it....
eta: So is he mad?

yeah he is. It's so odd. He's accusing me of wasting energy and yet I turn the heat down all the time. He leaves his TV on. His girlfriend is over here all the time using the shower.

So he's one of those "everything is everyone else's fault" people?
