Don't do the Atkin's Diet! It's unhealthy. It may help you lose weight in the short-run, but you would be consuming a lot of saturated fats. In the long run, saturated fats can raise your cholesterol and also make you gain weight in your stomach area (central adiposity), putting you more at risk for heart disease.
You also need carbohydrates to survive. The average human being needs at least 130g (minimum!) per day to stay healthy and have sufficient energy. When it comes to carbohydrates, you should eat "good" carbs (complex carbs; not refined sugary foods)
I would recommend the South Beach Diet (it allows you 'good' carbs', meats, 'good fats' etc!)... or the Mediterranean Diet, both are much healthier, and are effective!

Atkins is good if you follow it. After my first year of college I weighed around 311 lbs..I did that Atkins for the entire summer and when school started again I was 235. I then watched what I ate and switched from beer to gin and then weighed 200 by the holidays..Now I'm 185 and happy. So atkins to lose the bulk of it and then just exersizing and cutting out sweets and the biggst weight gainer ever Soda

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.
Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M&M's. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.
Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fats. Cut out mayonaisse and butter while you're at it.
White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn & flour).
You're going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need to make a fire that will last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you've collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a couple of logs in once every 45 minutes-hour?
Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn't realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn't get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days...starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch at say 11:30am...you probably haven't ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.
Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.
Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).
The healthiest carbs are:
Yams
Oatmeal (no sugar)
Sweet Potatoes
Brown Rice
OK carbs are:
Whole-grain bread/buns/tortillas (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)
Fruits
Aside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna
Salmon
Egg whites
Almonds
Low-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)
Lots of vegtables
Lots of water
You need to drink 1 gallon (128oz)minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn't clear like water, drink more.
Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).
If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or jog for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you'll be several sizes smaller in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.
Bodybuilders and fitness models basically eat this way. Not only is it low calorie, low carb, high in protein and natural...it controls your blood/sugar levels and how your body uses the food based on the glycemic index.
PS+ take a thermogenic fat burner also (hyrdroxycut, xenedrine, etc). Just remember to drink more water.

if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that.
1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day
2.) drink lots of water
3.)exercise every day
4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

DDR..
IT will keep you moving, and if you cut out sweets, go easy on the breads and dairy, the weight will fall off. And because DDR is mainly daNCING, YOU WILL HAVE FUN IN THE PROCESS.
