I am on the Atkin's diet for three weeks and have lost 12 pounds. My blood sugar is now normal, and I am getting some energy back.

But, I'd really like to see the scale go down faster, as well.

Yes, a pound of muscle will take up less space than a pound of fat. Phat is phluffy and shows up where you don't want it. You can work on putting muscle where you want it. Plus, the muscle will hold all the jiggle in place better. Keep up the good work.

Tutty, I'm basically on the newer Atkins as well, although I've tweaked it a bit for some foods I don't do well with. I admire your staying off the scales for a month!
