Answer 1

Honestly...low carb diets aren't that good for you....you need carbs to survive...that is how you get energy....but its all in moderation. The best way to lose weight is to eat a low calorie, low fat, low sugar diet.....Eat lean meats like skinless chicken, turkey and fish...ALL BAKED OR GRILLED. Don't eat fast food, or junk food. Follow the food pyramid. That is really the healthiest way to go....If you want to lose weight...eat about 1500 calories a day and exercise at least 3 times a week. Drink water...no soda! Good luck

Answer 2

A while ago, I used to work at a vitamin store that sold all kinds of atkins stuff. Atkins actually died of a heart attack and wasn't that old when it happened. It's a pretty unhealthy diet. A low carb diet only works when in conjunction with a low fat diet, and the reason why low carb diets work is because it tricks your body into going into ketosis which is pretty much a survival mechanism. You really don't want to do that to your body. The amount you eat and how often will play a bigger part in weight loss. You can speed up your metabolism by eating smaller low fat meals more often, and that will probably work better than any diet like atkins.
