I tried the Atkins Diet in 2004

BigJoey said: "And I failed. I couldn't eat bacon and sausage every day. I started to feel weird. After doing it for a few months I realized I needed carbs, especially fruits to be happy. How about any of you? Did you try low carb?"

QueenBee said: "I tried it, lost some weight, started eating carbs and gained it all back. That was a couple of years ago. I just couldn't give up the carbs for longer than 2 weeks. I'd be doing OK, decide to have a few sweets and *bam* it was all back. I know it has worked for some people but it sure didn't work for me."

Darren said: "I'm not a fan of "Atkins". To me it seems completely fabricated. All the information concerning health from doctors indicates a higher chance of heart attack from eating a diet high in fat. There's way too much fat in "Atkins"."
