Rather than listening to people who want to sell books, you could use that to decide on a decent diet.

... as I pointlessly and stupidly went on to lose three stone in a relatively short length of time.

Personally, I think the Atkins claims regarding the evils of carbs are wrong, but if you look at a plate of food and you remove the pasta or rice or potato, and replace it with salad/veg, then chances are you're getting fewer calories. Amazing really.

FYI I now follow the Physics diet. Energy in less than energy out = slimmer PaulieG (15 stone and counting ...)
