I have every intention of going to the Akins 40 plan (new) after finishing this set of induction. I have lost weight on 100g of carbs so I am certain I can lose on 40g a day. Nothing says you have to eat any bad carbs. It is just a new program they have come up with that I think plays very well to those who need help but cannot face the <20 carb stuff long term.
I was careful to place this in the triple Digits area. I am not talking to anyone with under 100 pounds to lose. You lucky folx can do anything you want. Sometimes us bigger people need all the help we can get. And for ME (not you) I think it is a great idea.

Oh, and I am neither pregnant or with under 40 pounds to lose. I just think it fits me to a tee at this time of life and need.
