Yes even if you don't lose weight on that diet you still lose inches- which I think is the most important. Good luck!

ONLY 7lbs.....would u be saying that if u had put it on?!! if u stick with it u'll lose weight, just don't go back 2 ur old habits, & get lots of exercise...dunno bout Atkins though...doesnt sound 2 healthy to me & not something I could keep up for the rest of my life. remember once u reach ur goal weight once u start eating properly again ull gain...my advice would be to gain weightwatchers. if u stay on program with that ull lose weight. ive been doing it for 14weeks and have lost 34lbs...its not even that difficult& u get to eat what u want so long as u count the points....anyway good luck in whatever u do xxxxxx

One thing you have to realize with the Atkins diet is that their slogan "Atkins for Life" is VERY VERY true. If you are serious about the Atkins diet you need to do more than just say no more carbs you need to read EVERYTHING you can about it because the Atkins diet is not a diet it is a way of life. I seriously think that when Dr. Atkins invented this diet he meant for people to live by it. Not just use it as a way to loose weight fast. If you want to live carb-free then you must have alot of self control. Its a known fact that if you have even so much as one carb your body can nto only gain back all the weight you have lost but also become sick. Just be careful..to all those atkin people out there..its a very strict very complicated diet. Know about it before you try it.

one thing i have learned about the atkins is that the weight takes a looong time to come off..and all the meanwhile you seem to feel miserable (at least i know i did) i suggest you change your diet..after all even though diet is DIE with T it doesnt mean you should be miserable

what mandi said is ridiculous. first of all you can have up to 20 carbs on the stkins diet and going one over WILL NOT make you gain all of the weight back. true- if you eat a lot then you will but that's true with any diet. you can burn off that one carb.
