The Atkins diet sure gets some people heated up. For some it is their metabolism that heats up and for others they think the diet is not healthy and it get them upset that it is being suggested as a healthy method of weight loss. If you ask me I am not sure that either is right. So I would like to find out from people what their experience has been on the Atkins diet ( experience preferred over opinions without ever trying it ). It would also be interesting to find out what the challenges Atkins and other low carb dieters have had on the Atkins diet.

This much I can tell you is that there are certain things that have helped me be more successful on the Atkins diet. On site had a chat room where people met and gave each other motivation on a regular basis. This helped me a lot.

In the past meetings at Weight Watchers and Overeater Anonymous have been very helpful. Though getting away for those meetings can be difficult. That is why I think group meetings over the phone would be very helpful
