The goal of the program is to put your body into ketosis (A metabolic state in which the body breaks down fat to use as its primary source of energy.) Studies have shown that the Atkins diet is effective, but only followed to the letter. With most other diets if you fall off the wagon it only sets you back that day. However, the Atkins diet will set you back two plus weeks into the induction phase.
This diet is for people who have very high self control. Like most of us, we want to cheat once in a while. I myself tried it for a week. I hated it. Comments are welcome.

Weight Watchers Information

The first diet program I am talking about is Weight Watchers.
They have weekly meetings for support, where they weigh you and give you weight loss tools to motivate you to reach your goals.
Their philosophy is based on a point system. Every food choice is given a point value. The amount of points each person is given is based on your gender, height, weight, activity level, age and how many pounds you want to lose per week.

Can a Person be Fit and Overweight

Can a Person be Fit and Overweight?

Studies have shown that if you are overweight but active and fit you may actually have a lower mortality risk than those that are classified as normal weight and who are sedentary or unfit. When people with similar BMIs were compared, those with greater cardiorespiratory fitness tend to have a lower mortality risk, especially compared with individuals who are not physically active. Therefore, even improving cardiovascular fitness may reduce the risk of mortality independent of a reduction in BMI.

Why Do Fad Diets Don't Work?

Fad diets force you to cut out too many calories leaving you feeling lethargic, shaky, and ready to give up. No one can stay on a fad diet that allows very limited amount of food choices. Eventually you will turn back to your old eating habits and gain the weight back plus more.

Instead of opting for a fad diet, find a reasonable eating and exercise plan that allows you to lose one-half to two pounds per week. There is evidence that people who lose weight at this rate — by making better nutrition choices, eating smaller portion sizes, and exercising — also have the best chance of keeping it off.
