do you have a glucose meter? It would probably show good results..but maybe you are stable...have you had cholesterol ad triglycerides done? I bet they are going down at a good rate if they were high before...

Remember, if you are on an Atkins Type diet..and you will know fairly soon if it is right for you or not because you will lose, or at least (like me) not gain weight, and you will feel better.....if you feel absolutely lousy after a couple of weeks it is probably the wrong diet...anyway, if it is working, remember it is not a hunger type diet...you get to eat until you are full, if you eat the right foods. You shouldn't be hungry.

Can you try a small bowl of oatmeal..not instant..big flakes or Irish type with whole milk or cream....small amounts...if you are carbohydrate sensitive, which many/most/who knows maybe almost all, overweight people are...you don't need the skim milk.

Read Mary Enig and Sally Fallon..know your fats and nourishing traditions....

Also, do you feel like telling us what your ethnic heritage is? That makes a big difference....
