I've done Atkins many times, and it's always been really good for my body type.
I'm currently only looking to lose about 15 pounds, but I find that the induction phase helps me to 'reset' my sugar cravings, aside from getting me into that weight loss groove, my body just has more energy, etc. Once I'm off the sweet stuff, ya know?
I do agree with Can'tTurnLeft in that the 'man made' sweeteners are really no better than sugar/ carbs. They trick your body into thinking it's real sugar, and you still have insulin spikes that make you hungry. The best way I've found is just to dive into the fat. Cream, cream cheese, red meat, salads and deviled eggs. I carry carl budding meat packs when I'm away from home (I know it's just balogna, but it's better than a bar) and drink actual protein shakes instead of the canned ones if that's what I'm craving.
I might be more indulgent in 2 weeks.
