I would like to add my 2 cents here. I, too, was on Atkin's diet.  It works
wonderfully well, and is not dangerous (as per my doctor).  IF...and this is a
big if.....you follow the diet under the care of said doctor.  Most doctors
are afraid of working with this type of diet.  Try to talk to a much younger
doctor, or write to the Atkin's Institute (address is in the book).  There are
vitamin formulas to use, and when you have reached a satisfactory weight, you
are no longer kept in ketosis.  My doctor's recommendation was to 'break'
ketosis every two months for a week.  Not bingeing, but to add a bit more of
the starches for a week, then go back on the regimen.  It does work, and I
shall return to the diet when I have a job again.  The only problem is that it
is protein intensive and it gets expensive.
