Sorry, I think I might have been misinformed with the person that put me on the Atkins diet (should have shared that in the first place).

He was telling me rediculous thinks like he eats a pound of bacon for breakfast and other things that just seemed to be harmful.

Sounds more like he didn't actually know enough about it and only knew enough to scare me off.

If it is something that you can stick with that produces solid results without negative side effects or risks, then that's great.

While I'm not on Atkins, I did have a diet and exercise plan custom made for me that I quite like.

I started trying to lose a few prior to a cruise, did ok on my own and decided to get more into it.

I highly recommend a custom program to anyone interested in finding something that they can stick to.

I don't think the fad type diets are long lasting but for $50 I got a custom plan that included a full diet and exercise system with two different sets of exercises that I could swap in and out if I got bored.

The diet focuses on clean carbs and protein and while it takes determination to keep at it, the trainer (who is a competition bodybuilder and holds a B.Sc. in nutrition) allows updates for 6 months.

Good luck!
