consume no more than 20 carbs a day and you'll be fine....make sure u take a multi vitamin or something so that you dont lose any of your other nutrients you get from a normal diet....

Get moving...walk, bike, run, swim, whatever.

Of course, I can eat pretty much anything I want and I won't go over 145...no matter how hard I try...

20g of carbs? I think / hope you mean 200g ... because there's 45g alone in 710mL of Gatorade.

I'd die if I tried to live on 20g of carbs in a day.

Tell me you're being sarcastic.

Losing significant amounts of weight means getting your metabolism working quickly, otherwise you're going to fight for every pound as you've seen...that means overcoming inertia and getting out there. Get active, and I'm sure you'll see a difference. A big one.

There is a lot of controversy out there about the Atkins diet, and all diets in general. The reason is because of genetic makeup. What worked for Goddyd4me apparently isnt working for you, possibly because of some unknown gene factor (which is being studied on now.) Some people actually have horrible results with Atkins, because your body needs carbs, you can not just elminate them from your diet completley, so if you continue to do it, be careful on what you actually deplete from your diet. Try a couple diets though, are you also exercising? I have not seen a diet out there that worked without exercise. If you just want to lose your flab, then why not just work out? Build mass and tone, if someone calls you fat, then you have the ability to now kick their *** //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif.
