I have been on Atkins since diagnosed. It is a miracle cure for me, my ibs, my pms and controls weight. I just have to kind of keep my fat down a little bit due to not having a gallbladder and having ibs - D. This is not hard, I still get 1-2 tablespoons of fat at each meal (that's up to 20 gms)...fairly high amount/no problem for me though...I eat only unprocessed meat, low carb soft veggies and healthy fats. I'm all SET.
