Thinking I may start doing this...but not too sure yet. Has anyone done this, or doing this??? Any information would be greatly appreciated :happy:

Read the South Beach Diet book before you commit to Atkins. I'm not a fan of fad diets, but the SBD has very good info on how carbs affect your body and how to balance good/bad carbs and fats. The SBD also has a more realistic plan that weans you into a lifestyle change rather that a quick fix. Even if you don't follow the 3 phases, the info is so good! And you won't want to follow Atkins because you will learn what will happen to your heart in the long run.

I did Atkins after the birth of my third child and lost all the weight and a few extra pounds. However, it was a diet. I would suggest checking out Tasco Reno: Eating Clean Diet. It is a sensible way to eat and lose pounds!! If you also include 20 minutes of strength training 3-4 times a week and 35 minutes of cardio 2-3 times a week, the weight will melt away. I suggest Wini Linquvic: Lean, Long and Strong for strenght training.

Good Luck.
