Mikeinsmd said:Atkins works!!! If it didn't, you weren't doing it correctly or you cheated. Plain and simple. I did it and I know others who did it. Some like myself, followed it religiously and the weight fell off while others cheated a little here & there then complained when they didn't get the results those of us who followed it did. It works!
I agree. I made a total lifestyle change last fall and cut out all simple sugars and starches. By not eating rice, potatoes, pasta, cakes, and candies, I dropped about 60 pounds within a matter of 4 months. I still eat the same, focusing solely on vegetables and proteins and 1 or 2 slices of high fiber low carb bread. Unless you are really serious about removing high carb, high calorie foods from your diet, nothing will work. You have to have the willpower to make your kids a cake and watch them lick the icing off their fork and not take even one bite..... it's not easy.
