I have seen Atkins work for some people where they were able to lose it and then shift into a more normal way of eating and still maintain the loss. It seems to have a pretty high incidence of "rebound weight gain". My wife and I are both big users of Weight Watcher's as it basically puts a framework on taking in calories and eating. We also exercise daily. She lost 20 lbs 2 years ago and has kept it off. I have lost 65 lbs with 10 lbs to go. It has been a ton of hard work.
We both noticed the pronounced Atkins shift about 3 months ago. It seems a bit ridiculous.
