Just don't cheat on it, and yeah, you're gonna need longer than two weeks.

The Atkin's diet isn't about completely depriving your body of carbs! Jesus, I hate when people say that...You reduce your carb very low in the first couple weeks (to induce ketosis), then stay at a low level to lose the weight you want to lose, then you slowly increase until you reach a level where your weight is stable. This stage could actually include quite a few carbs.
The Atkin's diet is similar the the South Beach diet, but actually has LESS rules and restrictions. It's easier to follow.
However, I'm sure the South Beach diet is still a good one, if you're willing to do the work.
I think just low fat, lots of exercise is a good diet, and one I try to follow. That way I'm just staying slim, but stay in shape as well.
