5. Kind of a nit-picky difference

On Atkins, you start with the goal of getting into ketosis. You'll slowly add healthy carbs back into your diet, and you eventually reach a point where you're at your ideal weight and don't gain or lose.
I track my daily food and macros (protein, carbs, fats, etc) on the Atkins website (it's free) and it does help me stay on track.
I found that for me, eating lots of dairy made me gain back, so I limit my cheeses and mix cream with coconut milk for my coffee now.
And the appetite control aspect is magical!
