Atkins Low Carb Diet

I have always had weight issues due to emotional eating, and I have found that the most successful of all the diet plans out there has been the Atkins plan.
Over the course of 5 months, I was able to shed 66 pounds. All without feeling hungry and gradually building up to exercising 5 times a week. For the first month, however, exercise what not done due to the fact that I felt extreme fatigue and slight dizzy spells. The dizzy spells I later found were cause by excessive aspartame and splenda usage.
The fatigue compounded with the use of those products and the normal one may experience while beginning a low carb diet plan. My results were well above average in that 26 pounds were lost in the first 3 weeks alone.
I unfortunately have gained back a lot of weight due to an incapacitating condition and will begin this program again tomorrow. I have gained an extreme amount of weight and unfortunately this will be my most trying time yet.
