Reply from Hayley, Age 15 - 02/15/05 - IP#: 64.172.59.xxx you'll definitely lose weight on atkins, but it's not a sustainable diet, which means you'll eventually gain it back. It also gives you halitosis (HORRIBLE bad breath) and it's overall very unhealthy to eat so much fat and meat. Carbohydrates are good! Just make sure to eat COMPLEX carbohydrates instead of refined carbs. complex carbs are things like whole wheat bread, pita, whole wheat pasta, potatoes.. etc. Avoid cookies and crackers, and look for things that have dietary fiber in them.
