Quite a few of my family, friends and co-workers have been on the Atkins Way Of Life (they say WOL instead of diet) and have steadily lost inches and felt better than ever. =) It's really exciting to see the folks that were heavy since as far back as I can remember finally finding the right plan for them to lose weight and become healthy and energetic again.
I'm usually skeptical about things that seem "too good to be true", but I've truly seen and read too much positive feedback/information to not give Atkins a try. Actually, I started today (Would like to lose about 20 pounds), so I'll try to keep posted about how the WOL is affecting my body and mind. =)
I'd like to add that I don't think Atkins is for everyone, but if you have the determination to stay away from so many sweet temptations, it definately can help most people who give it a shot. (Actually, after induction, he does include some very delicious deserts, so you don't have to feel like you can never touch another sweet again hehe, that would be torture!)
Anyway, if anyone is seriously interested, I suggest stopping by this Everything Atkins site.
