I did Atkins for a while, and I found that it worked incredibly. I've only done it for just over a month in total (not consecutively) and lost 40 pounds. I never gorged on what I was 'allowed' to eat except for water. Before Atkins I drank very little water, but now I'm drinking it at a pretty constant (and costly - only bottled) rate. Since I've gone off of the diet I haven't kept up with the lifestyle and I haven't put a pound of what I lost on the diet back on. I did take up excersising and that certainly helps, and if it weren't for LAN parties I'd probably be well on my way of being in phenomenal shape.
