Low carb diets, such as the ones promoted by Atkins and South Beach, are backed up by many studies which show that they both help people lose weight and promote healthy long term lifestyles. This site helps make a low carb lifestyle easy by providing great recipes and information on the low carb system.

I´ve personally been on Atkins since June 03 and reached my desired weight. I´ve held it without any effort or problem. My boyfriend, who began at over 300 pounds, dropped down to 230 within 6 months. He still has more to go, but even the current weight change has made a HUGE difference in his life. He has been gaining energy since he began. I have many other friends and family members who have successfully lost weight - and kept it off - by using these diets.

It comes down to eating healthily. If you diet and then when you reach your weight start eating tons of junk food into you, you´re going to gain weight. That´s a fact of life. This is not a "diet" as much as a new way of eating healthily every day. Eat healthy food, exercise moderately, and you will maintain a weight you enjoy.

Note that low carb is NOT a diet of "sacrifice". You´re always full, and always eating delicious food! You can have filet mignon, lobster, asparagus, delicious homemade ice cream. This is in fact a diet of luxury and flavor.
