Try another diet! Atkins is not all it is supposed to be!

health conscious

Pros

supposedly a healthy diet, no calorie counting

Cons

super restrictive with carbs, I don't think it's healthy long term, very severe, hard to stick to

Tried the Atkins Diet several times...first time I stuck with it for several weeks although the inability to not eat carbs was tough at first. Did see a weight loss but felt awful! The first time I was able to add back some carbs I thought I had won the lottery! Tough to stick with if you are not a meat kind of person. If I saw turkey bacon again I think I would be sick to my stomach. I loved eggs but you can only be creative with protein so many ways! Have had several friends lose large amounts of weight on Atkins...and South Beach but it is a hard diet to stick with long term. I guess the sensible eating and smaller meal proportions really is the only way to accomplish a healthy "diet"....I have tried several, this being my least favorite.
