I do know people that speak wonders of this...but I think if you are going to change the way you eat forever (which this entails) you might as well do something you are going to enjoy. I found a really amazing way to take off 4-10 pounds a month that didn't involve this strict regime (SP?). I am very willing to share my insights sometime without filling up your inbox. It's rather simple and effective

well, you could either go to www.hillermethod.com or I could tell you in person or email. The downloadable book only costs $10 but I would be willing to share my copy. It's just too much to share in a post.
It's worth looking at the options before embarking on something major. It can even be done in conjunction with a diet...as this is a method of eating rather than what to eat kind of process.
I was only 10 pounds over weight, but I had accepted heartburn, over fullness and starving feelings as normal. After doing this thing, I never felt those feeling again.

Although I clickety-clicked on your poll, I have to admit I have not tried the Atkins diet. But I have personal training clients who came to me after experimenting and feeling quite miserable with it. I don't think Atkins is a good idea for people who are seeking moderate weight loss. I think of it in terms of drastic measures for drastic situations. It's certainly not a way to live.
