Ok you can drop pounds FAST when you are on a low carb diet... plus the Phen you'll be losing like crazy! BUT (and this is a huge butt... oops I mean but.. teehee) unless you plan on low carbing the rest of your life.. I'd get off it now! Because once you lose all the weight that you want to lose.... and you get off the low carb diet... you WILL (and I mean will.. because I did it...my Mama did it... friends did it... ) put all the weight right back on! There's nothing more frustrating than doing something just to see it be undone! Just my 2 cents.... maybe you are going to low carb the rest of your life. But the doc and nutritionist told me low carb isn't the healthy way to go... it will increase your cholesterol over time... not good things! Hope you reconsider. The nutritionist did tell me that if I was dead set on low carbing that I should look into south beach and NOT atkins (I was already on atkins for 4 months at that point)..... just trying to be helpful!!
