I started to follow Atkins last January after doing a lot of research on dieting. I had struggled with the same 12 pounds for two years. I would lose it, gain it back, and lose it again. I religiously followed Atkins and lost the weight. After two weeks on Induction, I slowly incorporated fruit back into my diet. I ate a cup of strawberries every other day for a week. I added more low carb foods and continued to lose weight. After six weeks, I added a small amount of brown rice and whole wheat bread. Now I have maintained my weight. I limit my carb intake. I have learned how to better eat for my body. I can eat pizza for example, but not everyday.
As tinydancer said, "find something that works for you and stick to it." Many people have great success on Weight Watchers and many have success on Atkins. Some people just eliminate the 'bad foods' like candy, alcohol, or soda and increase exercise, and they lose weight. If you are looking for a diet, do you research. Plus, prepare yourself with groceries and recipes. Good luck!
