The Atkins diet is a really good diet, people who have low fat diets are still having heart issues that we "asssociate with the fat." Carbs are stored for later use as energy after your body can't take anymore. Keitones(sp?) are a side-affect of the diet. Usually, you'll pee them out, or breath them out, which is cause for the bad breath. To start the diet, you cut your carbs down to 20 grams per day for the first two weeks. During the first couple of days, you'll feel like crap, but it's because people are addicted to the carbs. It's like any other addiction. After the first 2 weeks, you can add another 10 grams of carbs, and you can continue to do that until you don't lose anymore weight. When you stop losing weight, the amount of carbs that you are eating that week is the amount of carbs your body can take in, and process. For some people BigBlue, they aren't able to do any cardio, or they are just to overweight that they can't do it, or many other reasons. The facts on this diet are quite simple, people lose weight freakin fast, and it's quite effective. The upside to it is that you can eat as much as you can of meat and such, unlike other diets where you need to eat like a cup of this, a teenie slice of that, and drink lots of water. Generally also for this diet, men will lose more weight then women, so guys, don't do it the same time as your S.O..
