My Mom did find some success from the Atkins diet. She did end up with gout from it. She has since seen the Dr and been tested for 47 different food allergies. Once she dropped those foods from her diet she was doing much better than even with the Atkins diet. The reason for that though was simply that she was allergic to many of the things that the Atkins diet already left out. She was on her allergy diet with Atkins before she knew what she was allergic too. Now she's been trying to do her allergy diet AND Atkins at the same time and she's making herself sick trying to do it. I keep telling her she needs to just eat right and listen to her body more. She often will eat a food until she's stuffed instead of listening to her body and realizing when she's had just enough food to be satisfied. These fad diets should all be done in conjunction with seeing a Dr. That's where many people have trouble is that they don't keep their Dr informed of their habits and seek their advice.
