Pros: You can chow on naughty things like steak and cheese
Cons: You can't chow on naughty things like ice cream and pancakes
The Bottom Line: Skinny people looking to take a good picture, this is for you. Fat folks like me. Watch your heart at first then try not to think about pasta!!!

| olfatmama's Full Review: Atkins Diet |
I have a mixed opinion on Dr. Atkins diet because on the one hand I lost 18 pounds on it. (That's a drop in the bucket for us seriously obese folks)On the other hand I can't go on it again. I've tried several times but something in my psyche says "Oh God she is feeding us that protein and fat stuff again. Rebel! Rebel!" I liked the fact that after three days on the diet I didn't want food at all. I hated the fact that after three days on the diet I didn't want anything else either. I was constipated, headachy and meaner than an injured elephant. My sweet children and darling husband were left wondering what happened to my happiness and bouncy attitude. If you have a little weight to lose try it. If you have a lot to lose it's only going to make things worse. Trust me. I've tried them all. That's why I'm ol' fat mama. The one thing that works for me is walking and water. Seriously it costs nothing (Atkins is expensive) and it works!
