A lot of people stay at 20gm for longer than the initial 2 weeks. I did that when I did Atkins. I have issues that if I don't keep my carbs very low I tend to crave them and go overboard.

Right now I am going to try to cut back pretty far on carbs because of my Diabetes. I have been getting an itchy red rash lately and from what I've read online, that is a side effect of one of my Diabetes pills. I have been taking more than usual lately. I'm going to try very hard to cut way back on carbs so I don't have to take it, to see if this rash clears up. I have a DR appointment on Nov 6 and if I conclude that the meds are causing the rash I will discuss a change with my doctor.
