People tell me I'm on an Atkins diet. I really didn't realize it. So I looked it up. I am!! And I guess it works. I'm 5' 7" 110 lbs I've never been overweight but I happen to like meat and veggies and thats pretty much what I stick to. Particularly steak and veggies. I don't eat potatoes or bread. And that helps alot. I also don't eat sweets (although I do have a chocolate candy now and then) I really don't work out so it must work if you stay on the plan. Hope this helps
