Low carb diets are not healthy. You need carbs to give you energy. The best way to lose weight is exercise. Eat healthier. Once a person starts to exercise they tend to like it. I like running. Running helps reduce stress, gets you in shape, and makes you feel better. Try running with friends. Oh yeah and remember, patience is a virtue.

First of all, it is important not to think that the diet is too restricitve. Mental acceptance of the diet is very important, otherwise you will not keept it. And combine it with fitness or dancing (I take Oriental dance classes, and it is even better than fitness).

I am on the diet right now and have lost 8 pounds in two weeks.  It is a fun diet and you still have plenty of energy and you really are never hungry. I have given you the link to their site which has all sorts of recipes and counters for the various foods so you can keep track of what you eat.  You mainly stick to protein and limit your carbohydrate intake to only 20 carbs per day for the first two weeks and then you can add more carbs in slowly. There are plenty of good recipes to choose from.

There are several Low Carb Diets out there,\n Years ago I used the Drinking Man's Diet\n You could only have 60 Grams of Carbs\n A day - all the drinks you wanted (NO CARBS)\n Steaks,Greens,Eggs,and all the veggies You\n wanted - I Walked and lost 40 pounds

Low carb is better than no carb. A no carb diet sends your body into ketosis and thats never a good thing. You force your body to run on fat instead of carbs and the body isnt meant to do that. Your back will hurt because your kidneys are in overdrive trying to filter out all the stuff in fat that your body doesnt need. My anatomy proffesor said that eating no carbs and making your body run on fat alone is like putting diesel gasoline into a regular car... it'll run but not as efficiently and with a lot more byproduct.

I recommend the South Beach Diet. It was designed by a cardiologist, and is good at teaching you about good carbs/bad carbs and good fats/bad fats. It's very effective (you lose 10-12 pounds the first two weeks), but it's not unhealthy like the Atkins diet. \n\nI use South Beach regulary, and have lost weight and kept it off. I also eat much more healthily now.

Both! You may consume less than 20g of carb a day but that's not gonna help you lose weight if you're taking in, say, 2000 kcal?

diet pills don't work without trade offs. so my advice is to exercise and do low carb diet.

It is safe if it provides the proper nutrients.  Low carb diets are not safe, because the carbs are the main source of nutrition to the body.  Diets under 1200 calories a day are not safe because you will starve your body.  Is the radiation and chemo diet balanced?  Does it represent the nutrients that the FDA says we need to maintain minimum health?  Compare it to the food pyramid, considering substitutions, and see if the diet makes sense.

Actually, I do not believe Atkins is a good diet to be on.  I've seen friends who lost a lot of weight on it, but then started developing weird body odors and constipation (among other problems) probably because of the excessive fat and protein they are taking in.  I believe that when you choose a "diet" to go on, be sure it is something that you can live with for the rest of your life.  Why not look into a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and a lot of exercise?

low carb diets are dangerous and can cause several health problems.\n\na good balance diet contains two clenched fist size portions per meal for your carbohydrates. This is a general guideline that works for anyone of any size.

i don't think it works for everyone but it worked for me!  there are tons of people out there, that's why there are tons of diets out there.  i would suggest trying it for two weeks.  i guarantee you will lose weight!  but will you be able to handle it?  it is somewhat strict in the beginning but as you follow the stages you will get to eat carbs again, i promise!  i lost 87 pounds in about 6 months on atkins and i am maintaining a great body!  i eat about 100 grams of carbs a day and i don't even have to really count any more.  i am used to this diet.  i have been on it for about 2 1/2 years.  i don't miss eating tons of pasta and whatnot because i do eat it.  just not overeating carbs!  there is more info on atkins.com.
