Did you follow his book? You are supposed to take these Atkins specific supplements every day.

I am looking at the Atkins pills right now:
"Essential Nutrients for a Carb controlled lifestyle"
"Helps Maintain Blood Sugar Levels Already Within Normal Range"
Then it gives the fine print on the back of the bottle "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration."
Anyway, I checked and sure enough the pill has 300 mg of Soluable Fiber in it. As well as 200 mg of fruit and vegetable concentrates.
Lets see:
In total the Atkins supplement "for maintaining a healthy lifestyle" has:
22 vitamins and minerals, 2 things I have never heard of, and 3 things to help your bowels

You crack me up, Ken!
I did Atkins and it was a good quick fix but I didn't feel I had the energy or strength to work out with the same amount of weights. Once I removed my self from the diet I gained all the weight back fast. The major problem with cutting Carbs out is that your body needs them to survey and your body will start to eat way your muscle. I was using the Zone Diet and this worked very well it is a balanced diet. Unfortunately since my wife has been pregnant we have since devoted from the diet. Right now I am 230lbs and want to get down to 205lbs. I am in and would be looking for a work out partner at Golden's Gym on Gilbert and Southern.
25lbs or bust

That's my gym! But I go at night since I work nights =)
I smell a challenge! (or maybe it is Chris' roomate's raunchy farts)
Chris...I challenge you that I can lose 25 lbs on Atkins before you can loose your 8. When I was playing baseball I hit the floor and could never get lower than 175...no matter how in shape I was I could never get down to 165 (which is the target healthy weight for my height)
I go around 5-7pm, but I have the weekends free to get down there. I have a trainer there but it is almost up.
That was my gym too when I lived at Gilbert and McKellips. I signed up because they had this 1 year no contract deal for $99.00. Now I go to LA Fitness on Mill and Southern because I have to work 3 nights a week so it is right by my office
Hmm...I will take that challenge.
I am only 5'10. I think I can make it. I was down as far as 178 when I was running 3 miles every other day...then I got sick of killing myself
Also....no offense to anyone here this is a comment in jest
I think it is funny that I and so many people like me defend Atkins because we either have done it or know someone who has and succeeded..... yet we have no medical training and basically are just believing what they feed us

Well you might have noticed that I have never said that the diet won't work. You will lose weight.
I just have concerns about the long term effects based on my knowledge of how the human body works.
Now the whole raunchy farts and possibility of a low sex drive...that seals it.

Since you put it that way, I'm in!!
Seriously, though - I am pushing my maximum poundage - getting close to 220 - I need to get to 190-195.

I'm in. I would say that I weight around 200 right now, maybe 205 at the most, and I seriously need to lose about 15 pounds mostly on the gut.
I'm a fan of the Zone diet. Much more balanced. My weakness, like Shawn is soda....I need to quit drinking that crap. At least with beer, there is protein in it...
