im sorry but the atkins diet is dangerous. i research it, asked my doctor, even asked the food and drug people. it is a very risky diet that can ruin your health and confidence. sorry i dont want to embarresse you but this something that i worked hard to research on and all of my result came that i am right. the atkins diet is not safe.

Atkins is a little more restrictive. NO fruits and not very many vegetables either. Just meat and eggs. no bread whatsoever. High fat, high protein. It works too. But it isn't very healthy long term. And when you go off it, you gain all the weight back and then some.

try to change ur eating habit. like eat more fruit anf veggies, less fatty food. the eating habit has to be long-term one. meaning u haveto be able to eat like that forever, cuz if u go on crash diet and eat really small amount of food or only fruit and veggies for example, and when u lose weight and go back to ur old eating habit, u will gain weight back. so start slowly.

If you go back to your old diet..... yes, That does not mean you will have to live on slim fast forever, but after you lose your weight, Change Your Diet into a more healthier one or eat less than you used to.

You gain it back if you go back on your old diet, you have to change on your old diet by just eating less and eat healthier (like a normal person)

Hi Tiffany i just wanted to say no matter how low you get your weight it doesn't mean to say you will get the perfect body. Basically all you need to do is lose body fat which should be quite easy for u being a ballet dancer but also maybe going to your nearest gym which is also what i do so far i have lost 23lbs i have still another 11lbs to go but am very determined to do so. Also i'd like to add that the Atkins diet really isn't a good idea please trust me you need carbohydrates for energy all you need to do is just eat healthy and also do at least 20-30 mins exercise 3 times a week i can asure you it will work coz it is for me so good luck.

One of my family members used it for awhile, they didn't really help her, and plus it made you go to the bathroom a lot more and it can get costly! And as the other yound lady said, you'd have to be on it fo rthe rest of your life probably!

been there done that. Ya it works great! I lost like 6 lbs. in 2 weeks but as soon as u stop drinking them (even if u eat heatlhy instead) you gain that weight plus more right back. So it works but I don't recommend it unless u drink them for the rest of ur life.

the 48 hour miracle diet isnt that good for you. people in my family took it and got sick and it doesnt give you any nutrition and it tastes really bad

Please don't take them. You are way too young to be popping diet pills, and besides, they don't work anyway. I tried them a few years ago.
