Thanks for the advice.
Yeh the atkins has worked well for me, I'm not fat thanks to it and I can eat shed loads (of meat, hurrah!) it's almost perfect. But it doesn't seem to help knocking of the belly flab I've picked up in the last 6 months. That aside the main issue is just the shear difficulty, especially as I do alot of work in the field, making an atkins packed lunch is expensive and time consuming.
I'll have a read through the diet articles and find something that suits me. Thanks again!
