Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the Aktins diet is a bunch of BS. ....And yep, I'm aware that it works for some, although not all, people. I'm just saying that right now it's a fad, and like all fads, it'll fade away. But most of the serious folks / the ones the diet really helped will stick with it. ......like your sister (who lost weight on the diet well before it became the rage).

It works for anyone, so long as they still follow it.

It's not a fad BTW - people have been doing it for decades, it's only recently that it finally won over the low fat fraud.

The Atkins "Diet" is hardly a fad. It has been around since 1972. A 32 year long fad?????

I think it is more then a fad. I think studies started showing that it had alot of good affects on health and as people started hearing this on the news they decided to try it.

Before that many were convinced that it couldn't be good for you because they have been brainwashed by the low fat propaganda.

I recommend "Dr Atkins Age -Defying Diet". Alot of good information in it.

"And yep, I'm aware that it works for some, although not all, people."

I hate to be picking on you, since this is a comment that has often been made, but since you are the one who made the comment here, I want to see some evidence.

Who doesn't the diet work for?
We keep seeing this statement but without any factual support.
