I love Atkins!! for 6 years I have tried to go from overweight to ideal weight and couldn't, I love exercising and not even after 600 calories burnt everyday I was losing weight I was actually gaining muscle. Then came Atkins... I have been on Atkins for 3 months and I have lost 15 pounds and just have 5 pounds more to go, I could lose another 5 pounds, but just being in a healthy weight is exciting enough for me. Atkins is for everyone the ones that need to lose a 100 pounds or the ones like me that just wanted to lose excess weight. Nothing worked for me until Atkins came along.

I have been on Atkins off and on for the past 2 years....I have lost 87 pounds and feel great. I have 83 pounds more to lose and I am confident that I can lose this weight. This is the first time in my entire life that I have had some control over what I eat. The cravings for chips, sweets, and junk food are gone! This diet has SAVED MY LIFE!. I'm not just talking medically either. This diet and finally being able to lose weight and keep it off has been an answer to my life long prayer! I have more energy and stamina. My depressive symptoms have improved drastically. My mood is better consistently and I even feel as though my hormones have evened out. It makes me wonder if other people that suffer from depression can change their diet and it help with symptoms. I'm not saying it would replace medication but could it possibly help make medication work better? I definitely feel better about myself and I can stay on this diet without feeling deprived or hungry. I don't feel insecure or ashamed when I eat because of what I have accomplished and I'm doing whats best for ME. I've had people tell me its unhealthy but it seems to be very healthy for me!. I suppose everyone is different and some people can count calories and control their cravings. My body does not work like that and I have felt ashamed too long! The cravings that I had were similar to a drug...an addiction...and I COULD NOT SAY NO!. I'm free of that now! What a wonderful feeling!. I can walk past the bowl of chocolate kisses at the office and say no every time! Control over your eating is what every diet requires. This diet, after the first three to five days, will give you control. I have NEVER had a diet work so well in this area, and I've tried plenty of them. Diets that require portion control that included the starches, sugars, etc.. to be balanced, starved me. Then I would feel physically terrible. The fatigue and brain fog was horrible. Then I would feel ashamed that I could not maintain it, comparing myself to all the thin girls at the office. I kept asking myself, what was wrong with me that I could not look like them and eat like a bird? I realized that my body chemistry was not like theirs. Now all the girls have been asking about Atkins. It made me feel great! I am living proof that this diet works and is healthy. Thanks Dr. Atkins!
