The Atkins diet worked extremely well for me, think this was because of the lack of carbs, didn't have any cravings or hunger pangs and the weight dropped off, I ate lots of strawberries with canderel and fresh cream as well as sugar free jelly when I fancied a dessert.
I think it's a good way to kick start weight loss, not sure if one could continue indefinitely on this diet but it gave me quickest results in shortest time and made me realise refined carbs, along with processed foods and sugar are really toxic!

Very good for weight loss, fairly cheap compared to many diets. I have been doing the atkins diet for about a year, not always strictly and have lost 30 lbs.

Since my daughter was born I have been eating as if i'm still pregnant. My daughter is now 16 months and I have struggled to lose the weight. I told my doctor that I couldn't stop with the food cravings and she recommended the Atkins diet to help curve my cravings. It has been a week since I tried this diet, and I have to say my cravings have gone down and I have lost 10 lbs. I have also been going to the gym an hour a day, but I was going to the gym for the past 3 months and only saw a weight lost of maybe 3 lbs. My problems was that I was eating what ever I wanted and working out but couldn't lose the weight. I think the Atkins diet is great to lose those pounds. And I still have 45lbs to lose, which I find it easy to follow. If you go to the official Atkins website their are delicious receipts that you can follow which gives you a large range of food you can eat. I would recommend this diet to any one. I only think people gain the weight back because they don't make a lifestyle change. I don't plan on following a low carb high fat diet forever. I just want to lose this weight and change my lifestyle to eat a variety of nutrious foods to maintain a healty weight....

Give it a go adapt to suit u and your needs. Defiantly numbs hunger i have reduced my calories aswell for extra weightloss and to b sure of weight loss on 1000 kcals per day but with the aktins low card and high protien food and yes tested for ketones and r strong in urine hunger is controlled on this diet but still needs will power i love chicken and fried eggs and can really fill your belly this diet. I would not do long term just for weight loss periods because of health scares

Te Atkins diet definitely works, I lost half a stone in practically no time at all. The question to ask is what is the long term effect on my body, the answer is I dont know. The problem with this diet is that it can be quite expensive and there are a lot of changes to your diet and they way you eat. (I know this is true of all diets but Atkins is something a bit different) Another problems with this diet is that the weight can very easily be put back on, and it can happen very quickly. I think if you want to lose weight and keep it off you have to obey normal healthy eating and exercise.

In order to lose weight on the Atkins Diet you need to exercise as well, even if it is just walking a mile a day.
