For breakfast its like a couple slices of turkey bacon and two eggs.  Lunch is about 4oz. of meat and some green veggies and a salad.  same for dinner.  Drink lots of water.  You can eat 3 regular meals or 6 small meals.  Stay away from sugars and carbs.  Try not to eat fried foods either.  Soda have to be diet and only drink one a day.

Southbeach diet.  It's healthier than atkins.  I've done both and they both allow you to lose weight really fast, but southbeach is easier to stay on in the long run.

Robert C. Atkins is the founder of this diet. \n\nThe diet works because if you dont eat any carbs your body basically freaks out and starts using the fat that is stored to get glucose which is what it needs for energy. This is called ketosis. \n\nI read his book years ago, was on the diet for a week and felt really gross so I quit. Then I lost 100 pounds by working out and eating some of every food group! That's really the best way. \n\nIf you need more info. on the Atkins diet you can check out the below website. It gives you sample menus and all the other information you said you are looking for. \n\nGood luck. Let us know how you do with your project! :)

They are called Ketostix, and can be found in most chemists / pharmacys\n\nI have been on the Atkins diet now for exactly 3 years.  I have lost in excess of 70lbs.\n\nIt does have a bad reputation as a diet, as a lot of people dont actually understand it.  Most people think that its all bacon eggs and butter!  Where as its a lot more healthier than that.  YOu do have to eat vegetables aswell.  As you probably know all ready, 20grams of carbs a day for the first 2 weeks of induction, spread over a specific legal list of veggies.\n\nFeel free to email me if you want any further information.\n\nGood luck\n\n\nedited to add - \n\nIts total BS that it has a negative effect on cholesterol levels.  I have had mine checked 3 times in 3 years and each time my levels have dropped.

if you need to lose weight quickly and without exercising then doing the atkins diet will drop the pounds of very quickly...very few carbs and lots of protein..long term weightloss is healthier and by having a few carbs and more protein is better than no carbs at all..you will loose weight more steadily..also eat your largest meal in the day rather than the evening as you are more likely to burn off the calories

Smarter diet + daily cardio.

there are so many varients that its impossible to predict without knowing your caloric intake, weight, amount of exercise and so on.  Atkins really isnt a good diet though because you exclude a whole food group.  Just eat a low fat diet but keep the carbs.  The weight lost from atkins diet is usually a lot of water weight and that is easily put back on.  I guess if you must lose weight for 5 weeks its not gonna hurt you.  But everything in moderation and plenty of exercise would probably work better for the long run.

I am not going to acknowledge the how Dr. Atkins died.  However, I will say that if you read and learn about the WHOLE concept behind the Atkins low carb lifestyle, you will see that it works and understand the science behind it.\n\nMost people just want a quick fix and associate the induction phase of Atkins as the entire diet.  There are different phases that you go through as you progress.\n\nAtkins and all diets are about eating the right foods. Foods consist of either carbohydrates, protien or fat. Eating the right mix of these is the key.\n\nAtkins advocates controlling the intake of carbs and eating the right fats. There are different types of carbs depending on the absorption rate into the blood stream. There is a tool called the glycemic index to help you determine the absorption rate. Typically, the lower the rate the better. See the source below.\n\nI used the Atkins approach and lost 60 pounds. I still live the low carb lifestyle and have maintained my weight for over two years.\n\nUltimately, it is about calories taken in and burned. Regardless of which diet you choose, you should get on some sort of a light exercise plan. Changing your diet will help you lose weight. However, exercise and diet will jump start it.\n\nI would recommend doing some research for yourself. You should have a full understanding of any diet plan. For any diet to be effective, it has to be a lifestyle change. I would also consult a doctor before starting for a general checkup and bloodwork. This way you can compare your results later down the road.

Cut out all carbs for a few weeks. No bread, potatoes, corn, rice, cereal, pasta, fruit, tomatoes, beans (except green beans) and peas. Lots of meat and green vegs. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Walk every day. Get a friend to diet and exercise with you

Quitting carbohydrates is not a great answer for anyone.\n Diet and exercise are the only safe option for losing weight and most importantly keeping the weight OFF. There is a reason the atkins diet is not as popular as it once was, thats because after you start eating carbohydrates again you will gain the weight back!\nTo safely lose weight try a few free sites which can give you a diet program you can live with the rest of your life and not deprive yourself of anything.\nhttp://www.sparkpeople.com\nhttp://www.caloriesperhour.com\nI recommend these sites as I have lost 22 pounds in 2.5 months. I dont deprive myself of anything and I've built muscle enough that I've lost 11cm around my abdomen and 6.5 centimeters around my hips.\nThere is also http://www.weightwatchers.com which has an easily followed points program. I dont find this to be ideal as you can avoid getting all the nutrients your body needs. The site is also not free\nAnother site ediets.com can be helpful, although costly. It also charges more if you want an exercise program to go along with your dieting.\nRegular cardio exercise 30 minutes - 60 minutes 5x per week and weight training (push-ups, weights, sit - ups etc) 2x-3x weekly will build muscle and burn fat.\nAim for 2 pounds a week (1kg) to safely lose weight and keep weight off for good.\nGood luck to you!

Atkins or other low-carb plan.\n\nMaybe not the fastest, but for me it's the easiest and I don't have to go hungry.

The Atkins diet does "jump start" weight loss, but keeping it off is another matter.  This diet is not very healthy, and some would say that dieting only makes you fatter.  If you try Atkins, do it for 2 weeks, then adopt a regimen of healthy eating and DAILY exercise.

No don't go there how can it be healthy and maintainable if it's out of a box. I have a plan that will definately work for you and can easily fit into anyones lifestyle. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Well, you've just stumbled (accidentally) upon the whole premise behind the much vaunted Atkins Diet. Many people, some of my friends in particular(!), think that the point of Atkins is to eat nothing but meat and avoid carbohydrates completely, thereby not taking in any useless calories.\n\nNay, the point to Atkins is to eliminate carbohydrates for a short time, and the re-introduce them slowly until you start to regain weight. That way, you can determine your daily needs and then eat accordingly.\n\nThe daily requirement that you speak of, say 2000 calories, is the amount of fuel you need to sustain life, i.e. respiration, digestion, mitosis, etc. plus a little bit so you can still walk and talk. That figure is, of course, a generalization at best (hence Atkins) and you may need more or less depending on your metabolism. Metabolism is something that varies with age too, so you need to take that into account. It slows down as we get older, and that's when we start getting those 'problem' areas that are hard to control.\n\nThe whole process of losing weight is further complicated by the way that our bodies store fat. We maintain a fat reserve which is intended for short bursts of energy when we need it. For overweight people (even slightly overweight) this reserve never gets used up, so they never actually lose 'real' weight, and a day or two later they find that they're back to square one. Maybe you've seen the "48 Hour Hollywood Diet" advertised in television. It promises to help you lose up to 10 pounds in two days simply by drinking the special drink. The fact is that if you don't eat for two days, you will lose about 10 pounds anyway, special drink or not.\n\nSo in order to start losing your long-term fat deposits you must do some form of exercise, and maintain a lower than normal calorific intake. Despite the almost daily 'revolutionary' products that constantly hit the market, the only really surefire, safe way to lose weight is the method that doctors have been promoting for years.

The Atkins Diet is dead and buried and has been superceded by the likes of the GI diet.  The reason it's joined all those other dead and buried diets is that it doesn't work.\n\nIf you want to lose weight then exercise more and eat less.\n\nIf you want to lose money then follow a diet.

You need to burn more calories than what you are consuming. The best way to track this is through a food diary. Sometimes we do not really realize how much we are actually taking in. By having it in writting you get a clear picture of what you are really doing. Also to lose weight especially belly fat try to consume more protein than carbs. I am not talking the Atkins Diet but by just keeping the protein ratio higher you see optimal and quick results. You really need to work your whole body to rid yourself of belly fat. Cardio and weight training together is the best way to go. Alternate between days, one cardio and the next to weight or strength training.

High carbohydrate meals. You can also eat protein that packs on the pounds. Get it at your local health food store.
