I try and follow the Atkins way of eating as it's the one I can stick to the best. Actually, once I cut the potatoes out all together I found I didn't miss them not long after and don't get cravings for them any more. I wasn't too fussed about not having rice or pasta so I never missed them at all.
I do like meat a lot and eggs and cheese so it suits me perfectly. I also found you can eat quite a lot of veg for your 20g of daily carbs.
I very rarely have processed food so I think my diet is pretty good.
My medication prevents me losing weight to an extent but I have managed to lose two stone, although it has taken a long time. The hospital was quite surprised that I lost anything at all and were really pleased. I feel better for it too.
I think it works for me because I can eat a lot of the food I like and am never hungry on it.
