Most people eat way too many carbs and reducing it is good. However I don't agree with fad diets and carborhydrates are a very important food group that shouldn't be reduced to that degree. I advise you try weightwatchers. They also advise you reduce your carbs but to a safer degree and their diet is sensible and your more likely to keep the weight off.

I personally did it for 2 weeks, it worked, but then when I started eating normally I took all the weight back, I guess my metabolism had become a little crazy. Anyway, I think you could base a diet on proteins, without totally excluding carbohydrates: eat a lot of chicken, fish and meat for example, but also have a balanced daily intake of fruit, vegetables, dairies, and reduce fat and carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, bread) but do have some every now and then (some cereals for breakfast daily, a toastie every other day, and one main meal of pasta or risotto per week.) This works for me, it is healthy and it gives you a correct habit of eating. I heard you are not supposed to do it for more than 2 weeks, because it is not baalanced diet.

You will feel better. But if you think you can go on this and eat all the bacon, cheese and ham you want, you'll only put stress on your liver and kidneys and shoot your sodium and nitrogen levels through the roof. Treat it like you would anything else. Eat sensible protien. Fish, chicken, turkey... Do not disregard fresh fruits and vegetables. You need them, and their sugar content is not as big of a deal as Atkin's people tend to think. I'm all for cutting out the simple sugars. But you need fiber, which means at some point, you will need carbs. Remember, eating food doesn't make you fat. Not using the food you eat makes you fat. Exercise!
