my own Atkins experience: I lost 35 pounds and am now happy at my weight of 115 (although sometimes I go up to 120). Once I lost the weight I did return to my regular eating. I increased my exercise and again enjoyed veggies and fruits, but especially the homemade bread I make (yummy with butter). (when I need to lose 5 lbs I do not go back on Atkins however, but a very low calorie short-term diet)

After trying nearly every diet published, Atkins is the only one that I feel delivered results without me feeling like I was starving all the time. And that is why I believe I succeeded, because I felt satisfied and happy. I could have gone down even more, but because I ride horses periodically at my friend's farm, and I wanted to maintain a certain amount of hard muscle in my arms and legs and thought I'd be better off not getting too thin . (but I still think of myself as "fat" though I know better. Old habits are hard to break!)

I would recommend Atkins.

I've dropped 60 pounds on the Atkins. Started 18 months ago. Yeah I know, it's easy to diet in Riyadh---we have no life.
