I'm thinking of trying the Atkins diet. Just wanted to know about your experiences and what foods you guys specifically ate?

    I tried it, wasn't for me. It did seem to decrease some of my hunger feelings during the day, but my body just didn't seem to like it much. Horribly insomnia and acne breakouts. And I missed the carbs. What did I eat? Lots of eggs and chickens and tuna and salads.

    The people here on mfp don't really cotton much to the Atkins Diet and its ideas tbh.

    I did Dukan very similar. My advice would be to think less about a "diet" and more about a sustainable lifestyle which will suit you.

    CICO is much more sustainable for me, I think for most.

    I thought that the doctor who wrote the Adkins diet died of a heart attack...
