I lost 40 lbs doing Atkins. When the people I worked with saw how well it worked for me, they started doing it, too. So far, a lot of fat has disappeared, but no kidney failures or heart attacks.
My only problem with the diet is the lack of good stuff to drink. I don't care for the Diet Rite drinks that much, although I use them, and have gotten to the point where I *despise* water.
Still, from 200 lbs to 160 lbs with no problems or regrets....can't beat it with a celery stick. :-)

"My only problem with the diet is the lack of good stuff to drink."
I like herbal tea and that carbonated flavored water (no sugar, no carbs). Here's a recipe for a spritzer that I like. Note that cream has some carbs.
Crushed ice
sugar-free Toriani vanilla syrup (0 carbs)
carbonated mineral water
Heavy cream
Put ice in a glass, add cream. Put in carbonated water. Syrup to taste. Very good!

"My only problem with the diet is the lack of good stuff to drink."I also have trouble with the drink choices. Try this one...
Cherry Limeade (like Sonic)
Pour the following ingredients into a 16oz glass @ 2/3 full of ice:
* 12oz can Diet Sprite
* 1/4 c. unswt. cherry syrup (I use unsweetened cherry Kool-Aid powder to taste)
* 3 lime wedges (squeezed and added to drink)
