Atkins Diet Reviews

I went on the Atkins Diet about 15 years ago and lost 250 pounds over 2 years. It really does work, but MAN did I ever get tired of eating meat, eggs and cheese. I think I ate enough ham and cheese omelets to fill a tractor truck bed!

I was ecstatic with the weight that I lost--happy enough to deal with the horrible breath that ketosis causes. I really thought that I had found the answer to a problem that had plagued me for years!

I was wrong. As soon as I started adding carbs, the weight came right back--and FAST!!!!!! Also, I am told that I did irreversible damage to my kidneys. I would not recommend Atkins for a long term maintenance of weight loss.

While I did lose weight on Atkins, all that extra protein was too hard on my kidneys and I suffered kidney stones. On the advice of my doctor I had to stop the Atkins regimen.

Atkins worked great for me and my husband. His cholesterol went from a whopping 460 (on 80 mg lipitor and Ornish and PRitikin) to 165 with a better ratio too. My triglycerides went from 1500 to 100. We both lost over 30 pounds in a few months . The only problem was that we craved fruit in the summer. We then found that berries and melon seemed to be ok. Don't use the atkins bars. Use regular food and don't use "low carb" snack junk food and it is great. There was just an article in the NY Times about how the false rumors that fats were bad. (trans fats are the only bad fat) Check it out in the times how bad rumors start and why Atkins continues to work despite the food pyramid--it was all from a game of doctors playing "telephone"
