I know a lot of people that say it works for them, but I eat almost the opposite of an Atkins diet, and am very thin and healthy (far as I know). I eat no meat whatsoever, almost no fat, no cholesterol and mostly vegetables and grain like oatmeal, farina, grits, oats and bread, with a few egg whites thrown in for added protein. I do count calories very closely though. I'm sure if you count your calories well after determining how many you can consume, you will lose wt. on the Atkins diet. Often market people try and sell their diets by claiming outright or tacitly that you can eat whatever you want as long as you do X, Y and Z, which is often something rather farfetched. That never works, and if you count calories, any diet works. dkw |

If you want to discuss Atkins you need to actually try it first. Read the book, follow the directions in it. Then come back qualified to discuss the topic. |

In many cases, you can hardly tell which is the before and which is the after. Yet the person in those pictures still claims that it works. So without graphic evidence, verbal claims should be regarded with skepticism. In other cases, the transition is from very fat to fat, or from fat to pudgy. Another striking thing is that, qualitatively speaking, the subjects often look a lot worse, in spite of being somewhat thinner. It's hard to characterize exactly. They look at least ten years older, sad and droopy. Often, their fat pictures show a healthy glow and energy. You see more smiles in the before pictures. |

... They look at least ten years older ... Who are you kidding? Atkins was good for about 4-5 years of reversed aging when I started. When I started vs a year later there was a lot less gray in my hair in addition to the 35-40 pounds lost plus all of the symptoms gone like chronic indigestion, coughing and so on. |

Me suspects that this is one of the same old spammer, trap lines, we have seen pop up from time to time. Probably some troll working for a company that makes refined grain products. |
