Low carb diets are not healthy. You need carbs to give you energy. The best way to lose weight is exercise. Eat healthier. Once a person starts to exercise they tend to like it. I like running. Running helps reduce stress, gets you in shape, and makes you feel better. Try running with friends. Oh yeah and remember, patience is a virtue.

Atkins is a high protein/low carbohydrate diet. It eliminates sugars and replaces it with high protein.\nA good diet, but I recommend that you have a good exercise program to go along with it. Otherwise your cholesterol levels will skyrocket.

Best carbs: Veggies (eat lots)\nNext: Berries\nNext: Nuts\nNext: Cheese/Full fat dairy\nNext: Other fruits\nNext: Whole Grains\nNext: Flour/starches/potatoes\nWorst: Sugar\n\nI pretty much stick to veggies, with some berries, nuts and cheese.  I have a very low tolerance for carbs.  The other carbs on the list are not really necessary, but make a pleasant OCCASIONAL addition to your diet.\n\nAnd before someone starts yelling that you "need" grains, let me tell you that grains don't have anything that you can't get better from veggies.  Fibre, vitamins, minerals etc. veggies have more of these than grains, for less calories, and they don't cause your blood sugar to jump.

Low carb is better than no carb. A no carb diet sends your body into ketosis and thats never a good thing. You force your body to run on fat instead of carbs and the body isnt meant to do that. Your back will hurt because your kidneys are in overdrive trying to filter out all the stuff in fat that your body doesnt need. My anatomy proffesor said that eating no carbs and making your body run on fat alone is like putting diesel gasoline into a regular car... it'll run but not as efficiently and with a lot more byproduct.

You cannot cut ALL carbs (or any other food group) out.  Carbs are a legitimate food group and necessary for normal body functioning.\n\nThat being said, low carb diets are good for getting weight off quickly, but if you reintroduce carbs back into your diet, you can bet on weight gain.\n\nBest way to lose weight is to look at your change as a lifestyle change.  Do not view food as a reward, a way to cope with emotions, as your best friend, or as your worst enemy.  You need food to survive, but you cannot depend on it for everything.  Best way to change your life is to eat all the foods you enjoy in moderation, while introducing more healthy foods.  Start off small if the intensity of a lifestyle change is too daunting.

Hi!  Good for you for eating carbs!\nBaked potatoes are a good source of healthy carbs because they also contain a lot of fiber.  Different types of beans are also good (black beans, chick peas, navy (white) beans) and they, too, are a good source of fiber.  Don't go crazy with portion sizes, as these do contain a good amount of carbs.  One small potato or 1/4 cup of beans are appropriate portion sizes.  Pair these with salad greens and a source of low-fat protein and you have a great meal.  Don't forget to exercise daily to burn off any excess carbs your body doesn't use naturally.

Atkins or other low-carb plan.\n\nMaybe not the fastest, but for me it's the easiest and I don't have to go hungry.

Go on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Eat fish, eggs, chicken, occasional lean beef or pork, low fat cottage cheese. Stay away from regular cheese, no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, peas, beans (except green beans). No fruit and no fruit juice (it's sugar water, my dr says). Cut down on carrots and tomatoes (included ketchup). Use mustard instead of mayonnaise in recipes. Eat lots of salads, green vegetables. Salads only have one tablespoon of dressing for the whole salad. No ice cream, or other desserts. 8 glasses of water a day. No caffeine

Low carb meals that don't cost much: lentil soup, split pea soup\nSnacks: tofu, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers\n\nI highly recommend that you eat whole wheat bread (without sugar) or sprouted wheat bread with flax or other seeds-even though it costs more. Your body needs it and all carbs are not equal so, just eat it.\n\nEat your carbs (like oatmeal and fruit/juice) in the morning and go the remainder of the day on low carb (vegies, beans, dairy and meat.)

The best food is low GI (Glycemic Index) food.  This doesn't mean low carbohydrate as many people think, but food that sustains your energy for a long time and doesn't make your blood sugars (and insulin) spike. This way your concentration stays and you have steady energy all day.\n\nSee this site for a list of low GI foods as they lead the world in their research: http://www.glycemicindex.com

Dr. Atkins is dead. He was a major proponent of low carb dieting, meaning severely restricting carbohydrates while eating lots of protein. While this method of dieting can bring short term results, it does not lend itself to a reasonable lifestyle for most people. Something like the South Beach Diet is a more balanced approach to reduced carb dieting. \n\nChances are your girlfriend, like most people, will quickly abandon this diet, which has severe limitations.

Yes the Atkins diet will work and fast...but its not easy to stick with.Like bread?Like pasta? Fruit? Yeah well you cant have any of that. 20 grams of carbs is all your allowed per day for the first 2 weeks. And carbs are found in EVERYTHING!! But its a good one to help lose weight but you gotta love meat, cheese, eggs, salad (no croutons) and only high fat dressings ranch, bleu cheese (eww) so give it a shot!

Through some research I found this on: \n\nhttp://www.lowcarb.healthanddiettips.com\n\n"A low carb diet program is based on the theory that cutting down on the intake of carbohydrates will result in faster weight loss as compared to adhering to a low-fat diet. \n\nBy lessening the amount of carbohydrates that enter the body, the body will compensate by using stored fats to help create energy for the body. This kind of diet are also said to remove great amounts of water content in the body, thus resulting in faster weight loss."\n\nHope this helps!

*low carb recipes.  Try www.bhg.com, they have LOTS of awesome recipes, you just have to search them out, and you can search by the ingredients.  And by the way, low carb isn't always the way to go, you can eat WHATEVER you want, just eat in sensible proportions and you don't have to worry about anything.  Also, if you cut out sodas all together you will lose wieght, and drinking lots of water helps as you retain excess water weight if you don't drink enough water. I have a good low fat recipe for taco soup:\n1 lb of low fat ground beef/turkey\n1 can fiesta corn\n1 can each black beans, chili beans, pinto beans\n1 can Rotel\n2 cans stewed mexican style tomatoes\n1 packet each Ranch seasoning and taco seasoning\n1 large yellow/white onion\n\nChop onion.  Brown beef and onion in skillet untill cooked, drain.  In a LARGE pot, add all the other ingredients, including liquids.  Stir well.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 30 mins.  Or you can put it in a crock pot on low and let it cook all day.

Berries like strawberries, blueberries etc are the best. Another good one is avocado, which is really nice. Check out the Atkins website to have a look at their carb counter table.
