I tried Atkins 4 years ago and lost 20 lbs in 4 months, but then I got bored of it. I joined Weight Watchers in June of this year and am doing MUCH better and I can eat the same things my family is eating, just smaller portions. Just FYI. I'm sure lots of people will get good results, I couldn't see having to make 2 or 3 different meals for dinner every night because I couldn't eat what the rest of the family was eating.

Yes. I did and I lost 50 lbs. It worked for me and good luck. It's not eay as first but you will get use to eating just meat and salads. But you really need to drink your water. And excerise daily.

I did it about 4 years ago and lost 4o lbs and have kept it off. I didn't even find it hard to manage because I fixed the normal meal for d/h and then just cut out the things that were on the "can't have yet" list for my plate. I tried to go back to the Induction a few months ago, but all the problems w/ Mom kept me to distracted. So I am trying one of those short term FAD diets now and having good results there too. What ever you do, follow the instructions in the book instead of listening to everyone on how they did it. Also, the exercise and drinking the right amount of water are also very important to flush out the fat. Lots of luck. Let us know how you make out.

I did Atkins when I moved to Virginia and I got wonderful resulluts and I am considering going back on it after Thanksgiving with my daughter. Good luck with your decision and email me if you have questions or need support or just need an ear.

for quick results it is almost magical! but it's very hard to stick to in the long term and when I started eating carbs again the weight came back very fast

Hi, I also did Atkins about 7 years ago. I lost 35 pounds on it and kept them off, until last year. I started just adding a little too much sugary carbs (ice cream, mostly) and from their my sugar addiction was out of control. I couldn't stop and gained back 15 pounds. I've just started back on it on Monday and I feel great again already.

I only cook one dinner for my family, but I don't eat the carbs. I eat the protein and the veggies. I'm excited to be back on it. But, you must drink water. Very important! And exercise too. Keep me posted as I've just gone back on it.
