Personally, I think the Atkins Diet is too strict. It works well as a
crash diet, but it's not a lifestyle. I could never give up
carbohydrates completely. I have tried The South Beach Diet in the
past, and it worked really well. For the first two weeks you can't
eat any carbs whatsoever. So I basically ate eggs, cheese, chicken,
fish, and veggies. You can lose about 7 to 12 pounds in that period.
Then in Phase 2, you can start eating good carbs, like fruit and whole
wheat products. You stay on that until you reach your ideal weight.
Phase 3 is pretty much a lifestyle, with one major restriction. You
have to stay away from white flour! And sugar is really frowned
upon. I highly recommend this diet. Although, it's not for everyone.
