Just a word of warning to anyone going on the Atkins diet.. it is DANGEROUS. No carb diets cause you to release all the ketones in your body.. which are vital to the proper functioning of your organs. Your body needs a balance of nutrients, which include many of those found in carbs.
I tried it, lost a ton of weight, but got very ill. Thankfully I knew enough to stop when I felt strange, but many people don't get sick right away. My doctor nicely informed me that I could have suffered permanent liver damage if I had done this any longer. No thanks.
Try eating from the four food groups (pay attention to how big servings REALLY are) and exercise. Not just to lose weight, but to be healthy. It may take a while to lose the weight, but all the studies show that if you lose only 1-2 lbs. per week you are something like 90% more likely to keep it off for good!
....These quack "dr" diets are scary.
