realistically I wouldn't recommend if for a week, I actually did Atkins for close to a year and lost about 70 pounds, and have kept the weight off, my diet now if not a diet at all I just sometimes try not to go overboard, when you first start the atkins diet and do the induction period for two weeks eating under 20 grams of carbs, you will lose about 10 pounds or so......... that's mostly water weight and you will gain it back if you immediately go back to eating crazy, so its all about consistency with Atkins, not a quick solution....

on the induction diet, anywhere from 8 lbs to 14 or so. I was on Atkins in 2003 and lost 60 lbs! Now the problem is you HAVE to stay on it or you will gain it back.
But I can guarantee that it DOES work! Make sure you read the book and take your supplements. You don't want to mess up your kidneys or deprive your body of necessary nutrients you need. And be careful to take a carb free fiber supplement so you don't get constipated with all of that meat and cheese you will be eating! Best of luck!

ATKINS DIED OF OBESITY... your brain and the rest of your body need carbs to function properly. I read a doctoral review of his information sources and it is based on fragmented loosely associated evidence at best.

NOT Atkins!!! Its horrible for you. You may lose the weight but it comes back with a vengeance.

you can lose 5lbs. the first week, but it's a hard diet. You should try to cut out all sugars and have a low fat low carb diet.

It worked well for me ...Lost up to 8 pounds a week and lowered my cholesterol 20 points or so......Exercise will increase weight loss but on antkins you don't have to if it works for you!Good luck

No, I would not recommend his diet, it was said he died form compilations as result of his own diet

If Atkins was so smart, why did he die of a heart attack? Dumbass.
