Reply:The Atkins diet is basically a low-carb diet. For the 1st 2 weeks (the "induction period") you eat 20g of carbs or less per day, and those carbs have to come from specific foods (like veggies). At some point during the next phase of the diet, you start gradually increasing your daily carb intake. If you go to Yahoo and do a search for "Atkins diet" you'll find the Atkins Center website, and there's tons of info about it there. This diet, like all others, works GREAT for some people, but it's not for everyone. There are a lot of people on this board doing it successfully – you may want to at least give it a try, if it sounds like it's something you can stick to. Good luck!
