Pros: Lose weigh, feel great.
Cons: Have to listen to people that don't know about the diet.
I have tried every diet known to womankind. I was always left hungry, but not on Atkins. I feel better and have more energy than I have in 44 years. I don't have the emotional ups and downs anymore and I feel good from the time I get up till the time I...

Pros: Eat all the steak, eggs, and bacon you want
Cons: UNHEALTHY, hard to maintain
My husband was on the Atkins diet for 10 days. At first, he was excited about it. He loves steak, bacon, eggs, etc., which is all allowed on the Atkins diet. But, he couldn't do it.
First, let me explain that the Atkins diet does not allow...

Pros: None that I can see!
Cons: Fruity odor, poor lifestyle habits, expensive,etc
This diet has been around longer than I care to admit. When I followed this regime, I must admit, I felt that it was a reliable diet since the author was an MD. WRONG!!!! I later found out that most physicians do not even have to take a course...

Pros: immeadiate results
Cons: not much variety
Ok, The thought of only eating meat, cheese, eggs and butter? I had to laugh.
But co-workers were enjoying omlettes, steak, cheesecake, jello, whipped cream and they were loosing weight!
So, I broke down and borrowed the book and read it....

Pros: Fun for about one day
Cons: Very unhealthful
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat. I am overweight, have been so for about four years now, and the only official diet I have tried is the Atkins diet. So I am not an expert on many of the other diet programs on the market, with the...

Pros: Quick Weight-Loss, Eat All you Want
Cons: Boring, Unhealty
Sudden Death would be better than this diet! What are people thinking about that would even consider it! Well, I'm just as bad as the rest of the masses that tried it. I couldn't resist. It sounds so easy. All that wonderful steak, roast, eggs, bacon,...

Pros: Eat as much as you want.
Cons: Higher grocery bill, seems like your only eating the main dish all the time.
I am in the Navy and have been for about 13 years. Some of you may know of the weight restrictions imposed on military personnel. For one they must meet a certain weight requirement for their measurement in height. So for instance I am 68" tall....

Pros: No portion control
Cons: No Sweets
I started Atkins on a whim. It's hard to believe that eating high fat foods can make you lose weight. At that point, I had heard a couple of success stories, so I figured what the heck. I'd heard it was a pretty strict diet and I was overweight, so got...

Pros: fattening foods allowable, quick weight loss
Cons: difficult to follow and stick with, expensive
The Atkins diet makes good sense when you read the book and sounds really simple and even pleasurable to follow. However, be sure that you've got plenty of cash to "fork" out on the many, many products you'll need to successfully follow the...

Pros: lost weight
Cons: gained it back again, hated not eating my favorite foods
I tried the Atkins diet. I stayed away from carbohydrates, including sugar. I ate bacon and eggs for breakfast every day. I had salad and chicken for lunch. Dinner consisted of a meat and vegetable. I ate jello and whipped cream for snacks. It...

Pros: You can clog your arteries with any fat-laden food you want, in any quantity.
Cons: Try finding a side dish to go with any of them.
If I could campaign around the US about the horrors of this diet, I would. It is just like the Beverly Hills Diet and all of the extreme fad diets before it.
First of all, what possessed me to go on a diet that forbids eating any type of...

Pros: fast weight loss, all you can eat
Cons: limited food choices, less than healthy, temporary way of eating, awkwardness with concern to going out with friends.
I was on the Atkins diet on and off for about 3 months. During that time I lost over 30 pounds and generally felt very good. It was only a matter of time, however, before I went off the diet and gained the wait back. There seems to be something truly...

Pros: more energy, eat as much as you need to be satisfied
Cons: many misconceptions about this dieting plan
I tried the Atkins diet by my own doctor's recommendation. I went to him for advice on losing weight. I have always watched my fat and calorie grams closely, but was still gaining weight even with exercise. In a word I was fustrated. After the...

Pros: Great for dropping weight in a short period of time.
Cons: Could cause major health problems if used for an extended amount of time.
With all the new diets out there in the market today we seem to forget the basics of life. I, just as many others, had to try to the Atkins diet because it was so publicly promoted that I didn't want to miss out on the greatest weight loss program ever...

Pros: IF YOU LIKE STEAK, EGGS, BACON, CHICKEN YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT
Cons: CHICKEN CAN GET TIRESOME
Okay, I admit it, am trying the Adkins diet, or sort of. What I mean by sort of is I haven't given up a cookie or two a day. All that protein makes my stomach scream "TOO MUCH!"
Since I have a condition called carbohydrate intolerance,...
