What a great thread to find! Originally, I came to this site in July 2003 when I tried Atkins. I did everything WRONG.
1. Read the book, understood the book, but never referenced the book again... especially when I needed the scientific evidence to keep me working the program.
2. Too many legal treats - my entire meal plan revolved around sweet treats. I was coming down hard from my sugar addiction and using 5-10 Splenda packets a day along with 1/2-1 cup Da Vinci syrup to ease the withdrawal.
3. Way toooo much dairy. See above.
4. Fear of fat. 'Nuff said.
5. Not dealing with the emotional/mental aspects of being a food addict.
6. Being too obsessed to the point of compulsion with counting carbs - like I used to count WW points.
I am a newbie on PPLP now, but I feel like I have such a better handle on this WOL!
