Has anyone ever done the atkins diet. How did it work for you? Was it difficult to stick to. Did you lose weight. Can anyone here suggest a diet that does work well without so many restriction?

I've been trying the weight watcher diet were you count points. I don't totally follow it but I'm doing pretty good. I lost 6 pounds so far. 10 more to go.

I never joined, my friend gave me the book and I do it myself. Some people join and go to weekly meetings but I don't. I'm not sure how much it is.

Okay, I have to say I lost some weight on this. I've tried this a few times for the last 4 years, I usually get down to as low as 80 pounds. I did this when I restrict so hard. I wasn't really heavy because I only weighed 88 pounds when I do this. After 5 days I lost 2 pounds (though this isn't healthy) but I believe some of it are waterloss. I think I really didn't do the atkins' but more of a modified one. I restricted so much though, 500 cals per day, 10 grams of carbs. But the diet I did was inspired by atkins diet. I think it's a good one when you do it in a quite short span of time because you actually lose weight fast. I think it has been suggested to do this in a short term basis then later go to a modified one, probably less fat and a bit higher carbs (30 or 40 grams). When I did this, I had so much energy and I felt less sluggish than consuming "too" much carbs. One thing so good about this is that for a couple of days of doing this, you will notice you already don't want to eat more. Ketones are the most powerful appetite suppressant afterall so that gives.
