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.

Atkins is a high protein/low carbohydrate diet. It eliminates sugars and replaces it with high protein.\nA good diet, but I recommend that you have a good exercise program to go along with it. Otherwise your cholesterol levels will skyrocket.

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.

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?

atkins is a very bad diet. It doesnt do your body good long-term.\n\nPotential health risks\nThe health risk of low-carbohydrate high-protein dieting is probably not from burning fat. Rather, the alternatives, though appetizing, lead to unhealthy eating habits.\n\nHigh fat is not heart healthy. Atkins food choices do not reflect American Heart Association guidelines, which calls for a reduction of fat to 30 percent of total calories a day, and to limit that to mostly unsaturated fats. Since proteins and animal fat go hand in hand, Atkins dieters tend to increase saturated fats, which puts them at risk for coronary artery disease and heart attacks.\n\nHigh protein diets stress the kidneys. Studies show the kidneys work harder to process proteins broken down in dieters on a high-protein diet. This puts them at risk for kidney disease, as well as gout.\n\nIf you need to lose more weight - especially if you are obese -- work with your doctor and a licensed nutritionist. Following an exercise program is a key ingredient to any successful weight loss program.\n\nGood luck and hoped this helped!

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.

People can call it what they want, but Atkins will work.  But you have to follow it exactly.  If you don't want to do Atkins, try South Beach.  Keep up with the exercise!

I would say No. I can only tell you from personal experience. I remember when the Atkins diet was all the rage and everyone that couldn't loose weight wanted to try it. It did help some people, but I wasn't able to do the diet because of the kidney problem I have. The diet puts too much protein in your blood. You have to use good judgment when trying new things. A good rule of thumb: always check things out and find out what your alternatives are.

As far as I know, My father used to be on Atkins - WOAH did he lose weight fasssssst.  And tons of it as well.  He gained it all back, of course, once he ate a little bit of carbs.

Yes. It can be hard though. It's a lifetime thing. I tried in the short term to provide another support and stuffed myself with low-carb food but lost a ton of weight. Lots of cheese and meat, and a lot of the stuff that Dr. Atkins probably wouldn't recommend like bacon.

I have tried a few things.  From experience, I tell you, going on adkins diet, and staying on 'induction' throughout, was the fastest way I ever lost weight.\n\nYou don't have  to buy the book.  Rules are simple:  No sugar, no sugar substitutes.  No coffee.  No caffeine.  Count all carbohydrates, and keep daily intake below 20 carbohydrates daily.  Drink at least 8 cups of water daily.\n\nThat having been said, atkins diet is said by some to be unhealthy.  Healthy way to lose weight is to go on raw 100% vegan (vegetarian with absolutely no animal products) diet.  On this diet you may have only water, fresh juices from raw vegetables fruit and greens, and raw vegetables, fruit, greens, nuts, and other plants and parts of plants in their raw, natural form.  No refined sugar, no sugar substitutes.  This is very healthy, and good for many ills.  Many have testified that they lost lots of weight in a short time with this diet.

I don't buy into no-carb and low-carb dieting. Carbs are essential for proper brain and liver function. Seriously, what kind of diet tells you not to eat an apple or carrot sticks because of carb content? And yet you can eat fried chicken and bacon to your hearts content?\n\nI would recommend instead that you research weight watchers and gain an understanding of portion sizes. Also, a simple switch to diet soda helps, too. Most people don't understand  or think to note how many calories they are sucking down when they get a 44 oz soda from down the street....
