Hey April! No, according to doctors, if you can go ever four days, you do not have a problem. Some people arent ment to go every day. By my problem, I wouldnt go for up to 3 weeks! I was bloating, although not gaining weight. i vomited at least once a day and had terrible head aches. However,depending on how much you have to loose, Atkins is good, but it also depends on your age. I'm an adult,21, and have stoped growing. Since you are 14, you are still growing.It may hurt you. however, speak to your doctor. If you do want to try it, i suggest follow it, but modify it some what. Like have a peace of fruit and milk every day. The diet tells you not to, but ya need to have it. If you, however habve more then 50 pounds to loose, do it then it will help your health. Hers what to do: All the meat you want! Love pepperoni? go on and eat it! Cheese? no biggie. eat that to, but only munster and mosadelle cheese. Not American! 2 cups salads and one cup other veggie. Eat as offten as you like. If ya need more, post again, i kinda ran out of room! ```kate
