After 6 weeks on Atkins and 16 lbs lost, should I start on SBD in Phase 1 or 2? I've been reading your posts and still can't decide. It seems Phase 2 allows so much more than Atkins' Induction or OWL stages and reduces the fat drastically that it might get my dear ole body out of the weight-loss mode. Any ideas or info from anyone?

My stats are 168/152/135. I am age 63 and have dieted all my life up to last 3 years when I said "the devil with it" and I started to gain tons. Regained my senses after moving up 2 sizes and after feeling too fat to sit or walk. Weight 20 years ago was in 120's, but I dieted at least twice a year then, for a couple of months each time. Bad, huh? Just think how much muscle I lost during each of those dieting months. I'm paying for it now.
