Surprising extra benefits to Atkins

pizzamike · 05-27-2003, 07:10 AM

Currently I'm down 20 lbs, with 27 to go. I wonder if anyone else has had these extra benefits - indigestion/acid reflux COMPLETELY gone (wow), skin much clearer, and BP now normal. This is definitely a permanent lifestyle change for me. I can't wait to get my cholesterol checked next week!

Good luck to all.

Good luck on the cholesterol check.....I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

My acid reflux is gone too. It comes back if I eat anything with wheat in it.

I haven't had acid reflux or indigestion anyway, but my gosh, I've got so much energy since I've been on this! I don't know if its dropping 25 lbs or if its the diet that is doing it, but I feel great!!!!
