Low glycemic foods also help one lose and maintain weight.

However, since my adrenals are wacked out and produce too much cortisol, even the strictest Atkins phase does not budge fat off me (and I feel like crap with eating very few carbs). So, I have to resort to eating very little, and taking Stimerex in order to get the weight off that my adrenals put back on me. I've lost almost 4 pounds of the 13 that blew back on me thanks to my adrenals.
