There are many people that have done it on the board. Search for Atkins and some threads will come up. Search for low carb and you will find threads where people have discussed if its good for you or not. Also, the Internet is a great resource. Good Luck!

You also may want to check out http://www.atkins.com/Science/ScienceArticlesLibrary.aspx. Atkins has been proven in studies to not only be more effective, but healthier than traditional diets.:yep:

I did it a few years ago and lost 40 pounds in 6 months. The first two weeks(induction) can be a killer though. I had headaches and I was sooo moody, just snapping at people for no reason. Once I get past induction it gets a lot easier for me. I lurk on a site called atkins diet bulletin board(google it, I can't remember the exact site name) and there is a ton of information on there. I have gained back 10 of the 40, but I actually started back today on Atkins. Good luck to you!
