Will try not to be biased, as I believe most diets work, it's just finding the right one for you.
Has anyone tried The Atkins Diet ?
I've done Atkins a few times.
Personally, I lost quite well for the first few weeks (give or take a bit here and there
), but I then plateaued big time. That was my experience. Jim has done brilliantly though on it, so we are all different
I found it easy. A few carb cravings but that will happen on CD too.
How much was it, was it cheaper or more expensive than CD (Its prob more expensive but just want to check) ?
I found Atkins to be more expensive.
Atkins fitted in with my social eating life better. It felt more 'normal'...I could 'hide' it more easily. The first couple of times, I felt very well on it.
With CD, the weight came off much quicker. It was easier to prepare meals, and avoid accidental 'cheating'. Getting away from food at the beginning was better for me. Most importantly was the weight came off quicker with CD and continued to come off most weeks until goal.
Thats what I wanted more than the cons of social eating etc. So CD was the best choice for me
