Yes, Atkins really works! I tried it before and i'm on Atkins now for
2 days. I saw that you said there "If you can eliminate sufficient
amounts of bread, sweets, and other carb sources, it seems to work."
Well.. the thing with Atkins is that you have to eliminate ALL bread
and sweets for a start and reduce the carbs at maximum 20g/day.

I write in my blog ( http://dietmotion.com/ ) about my menus, my
progress and basic rules of the diet. Here ( http://dietmotion.com/the-
atkins-diet-the-rules-of-induction.html) is the induction phase that I
think you did it wrong and that's why you gained weight instead of
losing.
If I can be of any help, please ask! :)

You all take care!

Of course it works. If you actually follow the directions.

What you describe is not consistant with what is written in the
Atkins book. Please, if you never tried real Atkins don't claim you
did. It's nice that you did well on a generic low carb plan that
you designed for yourself so please call it that.

All diets work in the same way. If they restrict calories to a point
where you are burning more than you eat, you will lose weight. If the
diet does this than it will work, if not you will fail. Whether or not
a diet is healthy is separate from whether or not it will work. If you
severely restrict calories to under 1200 per day, you will lose weight
but going this route is very unhealthy so be careful when reading
about these diets. Also beware of diets that limit you to one food.
Even if you are taking in a good amount of calories, you won't be able
to get all the vitamins, nutrients, fat, carbohydrates or protein from
just one type of food. For more information on how to lose weight,

It is controversial diet.

Here is probably the best representation of the criticisms of the
Atkins diet ( over 60 pages of medical journal references ):

I'm not preaching, just giving you a link to the other side of the
story....if you are interested.
