Atkins works. And NO I don't follow it to the letter of the book. I do 3 weeks under 20 carbs (I restrict fat also), then a month or so of balanced diet (lots of oatmeal, vegies and fruit). I am now within 20 pounds of goal and feel good.

Yes she was following Atkins under her Dr's supervision. She also has a few food allergies. In particular to green beans, and chicken eggs. Those restrictions in addition made it harder to get the nutrition she needs.
Atkins did work fairly well for her but the amount of time she stayed on it - several years - was part of the reason she started having trouble.
