    If you want to lose weight quickly, this diet definitely works, as long as you keep a healthy diet after you are finished with it in order to maintain your new weight. But studies have shown that in the long run it is unhealthy if kept up for a long period.

    I am not sure of the actual scientific reason that they say it works, but the main reason the Atkins diet seems to work is because you have to look really hard to find things you can eat (especially if you really like high carb foods), and you end up eating less because of it.

    • atkins works by causing the body to switch to a fat burning metabolism, called ketosis. It has nothing to do with eating less
