I did Atkins for about 2 months and lost about 15lbs or so. The problem I have with adkins is that its harder to avoid carbs than count calories, so a few days ago I switched to low cal.
I did a few of those 'calculate your intake' and for light exercise (I erred on the side of caution, I'm most likely over 'light') for someone my size it estimated I needed 2990 calories a day to maintain.
Well the last few days I have been doing around 1400 a day, and I haven't been overly hungry either. I know that it would be considered to low, and I've lost 3 lbs in....2 days.
Should be interesting to see how this goes. I've also been hitting the gym for the last month or so and I've seen some pretty good gains so far.
