Pros: Increased energy, significant weight loss.
Cons: Somewhat limited menu the first two weeks.
I have to say that I was a little skeptical of this diet at first. How could eating bacon,sausage and eggs for breakfast help you lose weight? Let me tell you, I have been on this for 2 months and already I have lost 30lbs.
Sure I love carbs....

Pros: you lose weight quickly
Cons: you could lose your liver
Ok, I do understand that this diet works and I understand why it works. I know that a lot of people love this diet, I work with about 3 ladies who think it is the greatest. But to see them snacking on a big piece of meat in the morning just doesn't sit...

Pros: It works-sort of
Cons: Near starvation for finicky vegetarians
Something went dreadfully awry between college and my third-year of law school. A lifelong vegetarian and "healthy-eater" I was amazed and disgusted that I had gone in four years from a slim, athletic size 4 to a zoftig size 8. The problem was...

Pros: Eat what you want
Cons: Some take it literally
I am a 40 year old male who decided one day that I was too heavy. I had tried many different weight loss strategies, but none worked long-term. I began experimenting with the Atkins program over one year ago. Today, I am well over 25 lbs. lighter than I...

Pros: Loss weight quick, and no meal plan
Cons: You need to be active
Basically the Atkins Diet is a guideline for a low/no carbohydrates diet. I first tried this diet in high school because one of my friends said it was a great way to loss weight fast, which it is, but the second you get off the diet, the weight comes...

Pros: Lose weight quick
Cons: Very restrictive..
I've read the Atkins book and I've tried the Atkins diet.
I personally have mixed feelings about this diet.
On one hand, while following it to the letter, I lost weight, about 15lbs. in two weeks. On the other hand, once I got sick...

Pros: Lose weight quickly
Cons: Not permanent, very harmful to your health and kidneys
Although i've never been on this diet, I know all too much about it through friends of mine who have been on it. I actually witnessed a good friend of mine go into something called "ketosis" which is a kind of shock your body goes into. This is one of...

Pros: You do lose weight
Cons: it makes you sick
As a new year's resolution, my partner and I decided to do this diet. Being mostly vegetarian for years, this diet didn't last too long for me. My body could not handle all that meat and I was sick!!!
My partner on the other hand, did fairly...

Pros: It totally works
Cons: very high in fat
I started Atkins after trying unsuccessfully on everything from the zone to weight watchers to the three day diet. I wasn't looking to lose hundreds of pounds but around ten-twenty. As anyone who has ever dieted knows, these are sometimes the hardest....

Pros: No will power involved
Cons: 0
I have tried a lot of diets; read a lot of diet books; given up on losing and smothered my troubles in Ben and Jerry's ice cream...I am obese, have been for years, and have very little "will power", whatever that has to do with losing...

Pros: I really lost the weight
Cons: Had to give up sweets
Like Princess Leah said in Star Wars, that Obi One was her only hope, so too was the Atkins diet for me.
I have never been overweight until I had my children. After that, I found just to smell food added weight. I tried low calorie diets,...

Pros: Fast
Cons: Unhealthy and Temporary
As a physician who has seen many patients attempt to lose weight on the Atkins Diet, I am concerned about the real health risks it poses. The diet will work. In fact, I have not had a single patient come into the office and say that they have failed to...

Pros: Weight comes off fast and effective

Pros: Fast Weight Loss
Cons: Fast Weight Gain!!!
That's right, touch a carbohydrate to your lips and the pounds come flying back on. Who can live like this?? I decided to try this diet because I had seen the quick weight loss that a number of my relatives were experiencing. After the first week, I...

Pros: great if you love, love love proteins
Cons: missed green veggies/supplements are expensive
The Atkins' Diet is for carnivores. If you love, love love beef, chicken, pork, and fish, you are on track! Dipping roast beef into creamy white dip is even better! I loved most of this - fried eggs and fried bacon. Sign me up! But then, limited...
