the Atkins diet is simply cutting out all the carbohydrates in ur body, so u dont eat foods like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and many more, instead you eat lots of protein foods — meat mainly. Dr Atkins has wrote a book on his diet, you can probably buy it at most book shops, try searching the web for it too, i duno any sites off the top of ma head, but if u go on google and type in Atkins, im sure it will find u something :o) and it does work!!! but if u do decide to do it, n do feel unwell, then you should stop or see your doctor for advise, anyways good luck if u decide to do it x
