Do not go back to Atkins! As a grad student you should be smart

enough to know that Atkins will not work in the long term as you may

already know, you gained back what you lost last time, right?? Why

would you go back to something that didn't last. If you do Atkins

again you will lose more muscle and will be even more inclined to

gain back the weight again. I know from experiance, Atkins made me

feel totally retarded. I think my brain function was decreased by

the lack of carbohydrates. At the time I did Atkins was my junior

year of undergrad. I had to quit because I could not remember

things the way I used to, especially hard when I was studing for an

upper level cytochemistry class. Please, I beg you not to go back

to Atkins.

I would recommend you using DietPower or FitDay.com to record your

calories. You may be over doing the portion size. I know the book

says not to worry about calories, but I have always kept a record

because it keeps things in perspective. I'm a research scientist so

I need to have good record to draw conclusions and to have evidence

of what I have done incase a problem arises. What is your workout

like? If you would like help, please post your workout and diet.

Trust me, BFL works. I'm living proof of it!
