Pros: You will lose weight fast
Cons: You will hit a plateau
I have been on the Atkins diet 3 times. I originally started it as a teen, I was joining the military and needed to lose 40 pounds in a hurry. I went on the Atkins diet, and never cheated, and I lost 40 pounds in 3 months, so I was totally stoked on...

Pros: Very satisfying/filling way of eating while losing weight!
Cons: Have to break sugar cravings and give up bad carbs!
After following many low fat, high carb diets which only worked for a short period of time, I am happy to report that the low carb way of eating is easy, satisfying and does get results. Don't let anyone tell you this is a no carb high protein diet whi ...

Pros: Makes you rethink your eating habits.
Cons: Breakfast foods are limited. You must be very inventive.
I went on Atkins January 2003 after reading the book cover-to-cover. I had great results I went from 168 to 127 in less than 4 months, which included a six to seven mile walk everyday and a half hour of yoga at home. I wouldn't follow the diet to the ...

Pros: Effective, easy
Cons: Expensive
I have tried the diet twice and have had good results. I used the old method the first time where you arent allowed to subtract the fibre from the carb count and found it good, although I didnt eat as many veggies as I could have because of the change ...

Pros: You can eat all the meat you want.
Cons: You still have to exercise.
I am a vegan for health reasons (I am allergic to a certain protein that is in all animal products). But my husband has lost over 60 pounds on the Atkins Diet in the past year!
He loves meat. So I cook him anything from eggs with cheese &...

Pros: Educational look at how the body deals with food.
Cons: Not for everyone and having to listen to ignorant peoples critcism.
It started for me a couple years ago when I decided to visit a doctor because I wasn't feeling well, tired, irritable, frequent colds, depressed, etc.(and yes I was overweight but not extremely obese). He did some tests, thyroid, blood sugar, and such,...

1. "Larry King Live" February 2003: "In over 30 years that this diet has been in the market, there has not been ONE case of kidney or liver damage caused by the diet."

Pros: You have energy and you loose wait fast.
Cons: You get headaches and you miss certain things that help you live
Well I had have to say this diet is the best one to try. I tried it and stayed on it for about eight months. I have to admit this diet helps you loose weight a lot more faster than other diets. You see I was on this diet before those little vitamin...

Pros: Balanced energy, weight loss
Cons: Cut the sweet tooth
I recommend this diet to anyone looking to transform their energy level and figure. It's a tough change to get off all the sugar, cakes, cookies, candy, etc. but well worth the effort.
1. It is low-carb, not no carb. Asparagus, peppers,...

Pros: Fast Weight Loss
Cons: Health Risks
Not Maintainable (in my opinion)
Expensive
After reading "Dr. Atkins' NEW Diet Revolution" (2002 print) I tried it out in full - I bought the ketone test-strips, the expensive high-fat foods, the supplements, etc. What I can tell you is this: It WILL cause you to lose weight, and while some ...

Pros: You get to eat all the meat and fats without going off the diet!
Cons: You feel tired and drained due to lack of carbs
This diet was just ok. It is truely impossible to eat only meats with no carbs. I felt tired and worn down due to having no carbs for energy. My doctor even said this diet over a period of time could be harmful because your body needs carbs to...
