High fat/high protein low carb diet.....it has helped many obese people, but whether it is right for you is another story....do a search on it here and you'll get lots of info.

I think you would be better served by a similar book called Protein Power or the newer more comprehensive version called Protein Power Lifeplan by Dr. Michael and Mary Eades. They give you a lot more scientific proof about why this type of diet works without going kinda overboard like Atkins does in comparison. I have read all the books and that is my educated opinion. As was said before this diet may not work for everybody that needs to lose weight. It did for me big time.

Atkin's rocks. I lost 85lbs in 8 months (285-200lbs) and i'm still losing. I wouldn't really call it overboard. Theres nothing overboard about it at least from my point of view. My cholesterol also dropped from 180 to 130. Hella sweet
