Cassandra asks:

I have a 20 BMI but I’d like to lose just a few pounds, and it’s really hard. I want to restrict calories to 1400 a day and exercise. I was just wondering if the Atkins diet is likely to work for someone who isn’t overweight.

NO OPINIONS ON THE DIET OR ANYTHING PLEASE. JUST THE FACTS Thanks! 10 pts!

   You need carbohydrates!!!!!! especially if you work out too! so thats not a good diet, id find a different one if you want to still diet. i think atkins guy is getting sued …or did?

2. Mckayla: 

   Yes it actually will because I am actually underweight and I went on that diet because at the time my Chiropractor suggested it for my Fibromylagia and Chronic Fatigue. I felt better on it, but couldn’t eat enough calories to help me keep on my weight. I had lost over 10 pounds in a short amount of time.

3. Louise: 

   Definately. Im not overweight but when I started it I lost something like 2-3 kilos a week.
   Its easy to stick to if u dont mind eggs and eating alot of meat.
   Not sure how much 1400 calories is but I was never hungry I just snacked on eggs and chicken all day

4. Kennedy: 

   I use to do that but i could never stick to it lol but ur not allowed to have 1400 a day u can only have 1000 but ne ways yes it will work for u it will work for any1 but like u cant really at NO CARBS AT ALL thats so hard every thing has carbs

5. Taliyah: 

   It should work for you, as you’re severely restricting your carbohydrates (7 calories/gram), and replacing them mostly with protein (4 calories/gram).

   I do not recommend this diet. Even though it may be effective, you cut out fruits and vegetables, and increase your saturated fat intake.

   It may be a quick fix for weight loss, but not so much for overall health.
