DO NOT DO THE ATKINS DIET, YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR BODY!!! Trust me, I've seen nutritionists and doctors most of my life. My mom also did the atkins thing until I told her how bad it is and she started feeling the pangs. You will have no energy, and it will take it's toll on your liver. Trust me, just smart eating and excercise will do it. It just won't happen over night. Any diet that produces results that fast, is too good to be true. The minute you take yourself off of it you will probably gain all if not even more weight than before. Please please reconsider, I've seen the damage this diet can do. You body should always have a good amount of carbs for energy. Your sex drive will go down, not to mention other things.
