I too have known several people who went on Atkins and yes, they did lose weight noticeably but they also said that the wicked glory of steak&eggs/ham&eggs/bacon&eggs every morning for breakfast wears off rather quickly. And from at least one pal of mine was the revelation that you just begin get the gnawing feeling that this kind've eating just can't be good for you!

Sure...cut out the bread & butter at dinner (Dr. Tarnower once said it's the single worst eating habit of the American people). Cut the donuts, cereal and/or toast to a few times a week. But the Atkins approach is simply too drastic. Like others have said, everything in moderation.

Something else alot of people won't get through thieir heads is that reasonable excercise, even if it's a brisk walk several times a week...does WONDERS.
