it works, but it's extremely unhealthy..and everyone I know who's done Atkins and who has lost weight..right when they get off it, they put all the pounds back on. So unless you're ready to dedicate your life to eating unhealthily..well then be my guest..

it really isnt hard to stick to if you arent a carbaholic...My mom does atkins and she's lost 67 lbs. So it's ur call...I think that atkins works it just isnt healthy for younger kids and teens.

I know somebody who started atkins, lose a/b 40 pounds and now she quit b/c she couldn't stick w/ it! Don't do it, you probably won't be able to stick w/ it.

atkins isn't a good diet at all! meat contains an insane amount of saturated fats, antibiotics, steroids, and growth hormones! I did a big paper all about eating certain animal byproducts, and meat isn't good! It actually gets you to gain weight, except when doing atkins..if protein is all you're getting..your body doesn't have anything else to get it's energy from..you need complex carbs and certain vitamins and minerals that you can only get from grains, wheat, fruits and vegetables!
