Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what's best for you. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

The Atkins diet can be dangerous because eating excessive amounts of certain meat can lead to heart problems. People have died from heart failure related to this diet. I don't recommend. It isn't healthy to pig out on meat and cheese even if you can lose weight that way.

I started the atkins diet once and carried on for six months.  I was a size 20 and after six months size ten.  \nNever had a problem with loose skin.  I had lost appetite whilst on the diet which meant it took me another to years to come back to a size twenty.\n\nI was contemplating going on the diet again but found out recently that eating red meat in large quantities has been proven to increase breast cancer.\n\nThe trick whenever u r dieting is to drink a minimum of three litres of water and u wont have a problem with loose skin and dont even bother with moisturisers, they dont even go skin deep, if u know what i mean!!!

None of those fad diets! Atkins is no good for you, what you need is a balanced diet!\n\nAll you need to do is burn more calories than you eat.. There is no fast way to do it! The best and healthiest way is to do it slowly. That is when it stays off, unless you don't want your new body to be for good. If you need to look good for a certain event, maybe one of those fad diets is for you.. But once you go off them, your weight will be back. And who wants to spend the rest of their life not eating carbs!? Or eating grapefruits.. Come on now..\n\nIt's best done by increasing your physical activity, and either decreasing (if you really want..), or just CHANGING the foods you eat! But if you really can't stand to change your eating habits, then it is possible that some more physical activity could help you lose weight, just more slowly.. It's hard to help someone to lose weight when you don't know their age, weight, height, how much physical activity they are used to, etc. But here is some basic advice:\n\nFitness\n\nTry doing cardio exercise at least 3 times a week, 30 minutes for each of those 3 days. You can split this time up, and do 5 minutes here and there if you'd like. This can be biking, running, walking, jumping jacks, jumping rope, dancing (my personal favorite), swimming, roller blading, and so many more..\n\nTwo times a week, do some kind of strength training for 15 minutes, or as much as you can stand without getting too tired. Basic things.. Sit down on the floor, and get into "butterfly" position. Hold yourself there for a bit. Do some push ups, crunches. Sit with your legs out in front of you and try to touch your toes while keeping your legs straight. Stretching. Things like that.\n\nDiet / Food\n\nEAT BREAKFAST! Do it! EIGHT glasses of water per day. Get eight hours sleep. Eat your basic three meals (not TOO big, remember the importance of moderation and you can eat nearly anything), and slip in a small, healthy snack in between. I will give you a basic idea of a healthy day. I am a vegetarian, but I am assuming you are not.. You didn't give too much info! So here you go..\n\nBreakfast\nOne whole wheat or plain bagel with 2 tbsp light cream cheese or pat of margarine. Some yogurt, and half a banana. It seems like a lot (to me anyway), but with that fitness plan it's fine.\n\nSnack\nOrange\n\nLunch\nPeanut butter (1 tbsp) and jelly (.5 - 1 tbsp) on wheat bread. Baby carrots/celery/lettuce with some lowfat non-creamy dressing.\n\nSnack\nA bag of 97% fat free microwave popcorn, or light butter (yes, a whole bag!!)\n\nDinner\nA bunch of stir fried veggies (mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, etc) with 2 cups of minute rice. With 3 or 4 grilled chicken strips on the side (not too big, maybe an 1 inch by 4 inches).\n\nGood luck.. Stay motivated. :)

The Atkins Diet is a type of low carbohydrate diet that was made popular after, Dr. Atkins, its developer published his first book in the early 1970s. The first low carb diets were developed over a 100 years and Dr. Atkins was the person who really helped popularize the diet. The diet uses various phases of eating where carbohydrates are reduced in varying amounts to help with weight loss. You begin the diet eating minimal carbs the first few weeks and slowly re-introduce them back into your diet over time.\n\nMany studies have been published over the last couple of years to support Dr. Atkins claims and information.

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.

First and foremost, Atkins died of a brain hemorrhage not a heart attack. He slipped on some ice and hit the back of his head on the pavement.  Many who oppose his views on nutrition love to boast about heart problems being the cause of his death but this is simply false.\n\nAtkins in a theoretical sense can work very well if you follow the recommendations and are consistent with physical activity.  At the very least, it will definitely prevent  weight gain from the culprit foods which are so detrimental to our health.\n\nThere really isn't a best diet for anybody. I've seen Atkins work fantastically for one person and then disastrous for another. Despite the recent modifications to the Atkins diet, you need to find out what works best for you. The healthiest diets are ones that incorporate lean meats/fish, veggies, fruits, nuts and only complex carbs. Stay away from processed foods (of any kind), breads, sugars (any simple carbs for that matter) and keep your saturated fat intake low.

You don't need to loose weight.  But if you insist that you do, go on a strict Atkins Diet for two months, try to eliminate as many carbs as possible.  Exercise daily!  \n\nEven though the Atkins diet is really not good for you, this will help you loose weight.  Just remember to exercise - run, walk, lift weights.  Aerobic and cardio-vascular exercise alternating.

The problem is, the less you have to lose the slower it will come off.  For example, if you weigh 250 lbs you could easily lose 22 lbs in a month doing Atkins. On the other hand, if you weigh 150 lbs it's not as likely (not impossible, just not likely).  And if you're already a reasonable weight and want to become underweight, it ain't gonna happen if 4 weeks.\n\nI believe that, followed properly as written in the book, Atkins is a safe, healthy way to lose weight.  However, it still can't accomplish miracles.  I'm sure it took you longer than a month to gain those 22 pounds, it's likely to take longer than that to lose it.

I did the Atkins Diet for 1 1/2 years and lost 100 pounds.  The problem with the Atkins diet is that you have to stick to it exactly.  I went back to eating "normally" and the weight came back.  I missed things like bread and potatoes.  I got tired of eating meat and cheese and eggs all the time.  The diet does work but you have to be on it strictly.  I had regular lab tests done while on the diet and it was amazing.  My cholesterol went down over 80 points (I had a high cholesterol problem before the diet)  and my blood sugars were in the healthy range while eating the Atkins way.  The problem, for me, seems to be that his way of eating is not sustainable over a long period of time.

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.

If you ask me your best bet is a balance of the two, everything in moderation. But if I had to pick one I'd go with low calorie, because its much healthier to be eating fruits and vegetables than all meat all the time.

I have some knowledge of both.  I believe the South Beach Diet kind of starts out similarly to the Atkins in the respect you limit your carbohydrates a lot in the first two weeks or so. Atkins does the same except it may be somewhat more extreme.  South Beach doesn't champion as much red meat as Atkins too.\n\nPersonally, I think it might be okay the first two or three weeks since both limit carbs.  After that, the diets diverge in philosophy.  The South Beach includes more bread/rice and other things...whereas the Atkins still carb-restricts.  So, I think it would be detrimental to mix them after the first few weeks.\n\nI personally think the South Beach diet is a lot more healthy..I read the book and I feel its a lot healthier to lose weight that way because it gradually introduces carbs back into the diet.  Atkins is too extreme and once you go back to a regular diet with breads and/or rice, you will gain the weight back.

Doing the Atkins diet "reversed" my diabetes.  Medically proven.  However, doctors will still bash it. Read the book and try it for two weeks and become a new you.

Low carb diets seem to work well.  Or you can do it the old fashioned (and probably best) way of eating healthy food (low fat, balanced meals) and exercising.
