I'm not sure why everybody seems to think that Atkins is some kind of 'cure for whatever ails you' diet that will work miracles for one and all.


Take a step back and see if in fact you wouldn't be more at ease on a traditional low cal diet.

What's important is that you find a way to get the weight off and be happy with yourself... not which diet you follow.
I love this response and agree 100%. I fully believe that there is no one eating plan that works for absolutely everyone. My mother had thyroid issues and Atkins did not work for her, at least not after a small amount of initial weight loss.

I really am so sorry that you are frustrated. There is nothing worse than feeling as though you can't control your own body. I wish you the very best in whatever you decide to do!
