Bottom Line
People complain the diet pushes too much red meat and cheese. Although Atkins was a big deal back in the day, it’s just not in the same league with today’s top diets like Nutrisystem or South Beach Diet.

It's important to understand, Atkins is not necessarily low carb...it is controlled carb. Eating low amounts of high glycemic carbs.
I did atkins for 2 years and lost a lot of weight, and kept my diabetes at bay without the need for medication. Dr's and laypeople both marveled at my success. I was a little reckless with the meat and soda and I did develop kidney stones and had to stop it for awhile. I think diet lemonade, which is high in citric acid and plenty of water would have helped this as I was drinking mostly diet sodas which is very hard on your system and very dehydrating.
In the end, I don't know anyone who would look at a plate with a chicken thigh, a salad with tomatoes, sprouts, peppers, sunflower seeds and italian dressing with some brocoli and think "Oh what an unhealthy diet", and yet this is induction Atkins, much more strict than the other levels with regard to carb cutting.

I went on the Atkins Diet about 15 years ago and lost 250 pounds over 2 years. It really does work, but MAN did I ever get tired of eating meat, eggs and cheese. I think I ate enough ham and cheese omelets to fill a tractor truck bed!

I was ecstatic with the weight that I lost--happy enough to deal with the horrible breath that ketosis causes. I really thought that I had found the answer to a problem that had plagued me for years!

I was wrong. As soon as I started adding carbs, the weight came right back--and FAST!!!!!! Also, I am told that I did irreversible damage to my kidneys. I would not recommend Atkins for a long term maintenance of weight loss.

While I did lose weight on Atkins, all that extra protein was too hard on my kidneys and I suffered kidney stones. On the advice of my doctor I had to stop the Atkins regimen.
