@LeinadNesterbegne yes you will because your body is very hungry! And you haven’t feed it in a long time. So it’s storing fat, and it also slows down your matabalism not eating so say b4 u starved you could eat one way and not gain anything. But then you eat that same way once u starve urself you gain because ur matabalism is slower. Look into these things b4 u do them!

@Mikkixox9 Well when you reach your goal you should eat everyday like normal people. Meals containing proteins, carbs, fat and other minerals your body need. Just dont eat more calories then your body need, and you won’t gain weight.

I've done very well on it, lost 35 lbs so far. I've also found that most of my aches and pains have gone away, but they come back if I start back on high-carbs.

Drawbacks: First of all, not everyone will lose weight as fast as he indicates. It's common for people to stall on the 3rd or 4th week. If you have a lot of weight to lose, you will probably find it goes in fits and starts. I personally tend to lose a bunch, then stay at the same weight for a long time, then lose a bunch more. However, I feel that this is my body adapting to it's new composition and shape. Give it time and stick to the plan, the weight will eventually come off.

The first week you will probably go through "induction flu" which is withdrawal from sugar. I was exhausted and my arm and legs felt like they weighed a ton. Once I got past that I was fine. Others experience actual flu-like symptoms.

The general consensus is to stick to real foods and avoid low-carb "products" as much as possible. Atkins is about learning a healthy new lifestyle, not substituting one kind of crap for another. Most of your carbs should be coming from veggies.

When you are in ketosis, you may have a funny taste/odor on your breath and odor in your urine from the ketones. You get used to it, many people suck on sugar free mints or chew sugarless gum to offset it. Personally, when I get that funny taste I'm happy because I know I'm burning fat.

The main thing is to make it a lifestyle. If you think of it as a "diet" that you're going to end, it becomes tedious – especially during those times when you are not losing. I now concentrate on eating in a healthy fashion and doing my exercise, I feel that in the long run my body will eventually settle at a weight that it is best for it.

I'm a member of a low-carb forum which I've found very helpful. The people there are really supportive, and it's motivating for me to go there regularly. There's lots of recipes too. They have a section devoted strictly to Atkins.

Good luck on your weight-loss/health journey!

No difference between the two.

The Atkins Diet that encourages high dairy and meat protein and fats, that 'eventually' plug up everyone's liver have not changed.

I agree with low carb high protein, just not making a diet of dairy-calcium, meat-cholesterol, and too many fats like I used to do.

Campbell's "The China Study" agrees with this view.

The people who are profiting from Atkins methods have changed only a little since Dr. Atkins passing. When it pays the bills it is hard to change one's view of the simple facts. Similar to someone who sells cigarettes for a living, who insists nicotine is not a carcinogen or addictive.

I HOPE you will take my advice that I posted for you and others at <>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Akw6EF9KqYEZEjdgXQYevPDty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090924021737AA5D9qV&show=7#profile-info-c19a4184b9a244c77149cbb9521f7f38aa<&gt;

AND would understand my history and my complaints with the Atkins diet that I posted at <>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090922235820AArWxgX&r=w<&gt;

SOOoo you would not duplicate my own naivete, with yourself or with those you love, to your own hurt.

I WISH you good health with better info and insights than I have had.

My best to you and yours.
