Atkins can be a good way to lose weight but from what I have read you have to be prepared to make this a permanent lifestyle change.
Induction (extreme carb reduction) only lasts for two weeks, and after that you can have a small amount of carbs and make healthy veg/fruit choices, but it is still rough.
Just make sure you are getting enough fiber! One supplement that is used regularly by Atkins folk is Benefiber. You can get it at any drugstore, it's not gritty and you can mix it with anything (except juice).
