: I went on this diet last Fall and lost 15 pounds very fast. As soon as I started to eat "normal" again, the weight came back on. I got very sick!
: My blood pressure went high and my Calcium levels went VERY LOW! My Doctor told me that your body cannot lose more than 2 lbs. per week. I have followed his advice and I have lost over 20 lbs. on Weight Watchers. He told me it was the safest diet in the world. PLEASE be careful if you decide to go on this diet.

Atkins works but a few caveats; It is like treating cancer, you want a remission of the "shmaltzoma." then liberalize to sugarbusters or caveman. Also, use olive, flax borage and grapeseed oil as well as oily fish like salmon. these are good fats. Walnuts and avocadoes too. And drink green tea. That way your arteries won't clog up as sometimes happens in my practice.
