My mom and aunt tried the Mayo Clinic diet, which is even more stringent than the Atkins. It did work but there's no way I could ever have done it. Bacon and eggs every morning for breakfast (gag), any sort of meat you want, limited fruits, certain veggies are off limits, no sugar, no caffeine. No potatoes? No pasta? Hell no! It's the diet that they put people on who desperately need heart surgery but are too fat to go thru with it. I just think a little moderation in everything is all it takes. Maybe not for some people. "There are no bad foods, just bad quantities."
