My problem with Atkins is the implication that a slab of bacon (no carbs) is better than an apple (carbs, oh darn). I think anyone can lose weight on these fad diets initially because they put some ‘limit’ on your food intake, whether it’s carbs, fat, particular food items. There’s nothing special about any of them.

Now here’s the diet I’d love to follow: Chipotle every day

Wow, Brip Blap, congratulations, that is quite an accomplishment. I have heard a ton of real life Atkins diet success stories.

The problem with most people (not you) is that you do need to eat bascially 0 carbs in the beginning to get it to work.

I lost 100 pounds on the Atkins diet. That’s a round number – it was probably more. I credit Atkins with saving my life. I can’t agree with calling it ridiculous. I understand that a lot of people don’t buy into the method of doing it. I also think that if someone goes on Atkins to lose 10 pounds, it’s a bad idea. But if you’re obese and you need to lose weight, this is perfect. I ate 0 carbs for about a month and then severely restricted carbs for a year and a half. The only carbs I took in were vegetable carbs. I ate lean meats, cheese and leafy greens for years. I only started eating bread and pasta and fruit again about 2 years ago. It’s not ridiculous, and it’s just like credit cards – in the hands of someone with self-discipline it’s a perfect tool. I studied very carefully, I didn’t eat the crap “low-carb” frozen dinners and so on, and I lost weight, improved my blood pressure and overall fitness, and now my doctor tells me my physical condition is 10 years younger than my actual age.

I love Subway, and go do the diet if they sent you everything you needed weekly. I just can’t see driving there everyday and waiting in line.

I am down for the Russian Air Force diet. I will lose all my muscles and fat, and if I tried to work out, I would collapse from not eating enough.

Hot Dog diet is for me too, especially since no one really knows what go into them.
