Did anyone here ever do the Atkins Diet? Can I get some opinions?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
There might be a better forum for this question on DS like the "Diet and Weight maintenance " support group. You might want to post it there rather than here. Just this question can be triggering for some.
I tried it twice. The second time I really concentrated on drinking enough water to avoid constipation and I still had trouble. Because I have an eating disorder, I binged on the foods I could eat and obsessed about the ones I couldn't.
The hair loss started about three months after I went on Atkins the second time. I mean handfuls. I have thick hair, but this freaked me out. I stopped Atkins right then. The hair loss subsided and eventually the thickness came back. I cannot recommend this diet.
eating healthy, and moving are the only want to lose and be healthy...
Throw it in the trash.
