Anyway. Limited amounts of carbs is the way to go. I have also hear people who did cut carbs craved them so much that when they started to eat carbs again they overeat a lot.
Most of the people I know who tried this diet lost weight initially but then gained it right back when they started to eat regularly again.

When I talked to my doctor about weight loss, she told me to think in terms of lifestyle changes I could maintain indefinitely rather than a short term "diet." I might be able to cut carbs for a few weeks, but I could never go without them long term, therefore Atkins isn't for me!
