Nancy LC, That happened to me. I will see what happens today but I am losing weight. Nothing to brag about yet but I will stay on course. I won't eat until after 9:00 AM today. It is also great to be able to eat so much without feeling stuffed. Something I have come to believe is that for me, eating 3 meals a day isn't too much, it is too often. I think that whatever processes the body goes through must take longer to complete. By eating before the digestive process is done, forces the body to store fat and the goo that goes with it. I don't feel like I am retaining water. I am going to test this out for about 2 more weeks before I come to a conclusion on its affects on me. Thanks for your encouragement. The best thing I have done since starting Atkins was joining this site.
