I did this for 2 months. I went down to almost 20 pounds. I was stuck between 15 and 20 pounds gone. So, I gave up. I was trying everything. Sadly to say, I have gain 30 pounds now. :( I am now losing it with NUTRISYSTEM! LOVE IT!

I tried the atkins diet about 5 years ago and weighed 235 lbs. In 7 months i weighed 155 lbs. I was so pleased, but the diet is difficult to make maintain. As soon as I stopped counting the carbs, I started to gain the weight. I was so tired of the diet and eating meat,eggs and cheese. The worst thing I disliked was the constipation. I stopped doing atkins and now I weigh 225 lbs. Its been about 2 yrs. battling with trying to lose the weight again, only healthy.

I couldn't say it any better than Sean. People hear Atkin's and all they say is, "I can't eat only meat" or "I have to have more carbs than that". These people are the ones who have never actually took the time to read the details of the diet. The first time I did the hard core induction phase I got sick the first day or two. I think it just shows hows unhealthy I had been eating. I lost 20 pounds that first month. Since then, I had a baby and found out that I have a thyroid problem. But, once that was under control, I started Atkins again. I'm down 33 pounds over a year time span... It's the easiest diet for me, I don't like worrying about portions and feeling hungry all day. When I'm going through busy times, I don't count carbs, I just keep weighing in to make sure I'm not blowing it. When I want to drop a few more pounds, I cut out the egg rolls, burritos and chocolate. It's all about eating well. Now, if I could just find time for more exercise!!!
