There is just no logic in cutting out all carbs your body needs just to lose weight at a phenomenal rate. Most all quick weight loss is unhealthy and when you reach your goal and stop the diet, you are much more likely to gain that weight back just as fast plus extra.

Just wanted to give you guys some info, I'd like to see us all get healthy and fit but not at the risk causing possible damage.

You can count me in.
If you had actually researched the Atkins diet, you would have known that it isn't about NO carbs, it's about LESS carbs.

And you gain the weight back after ending any diet/eating plan, which is why Atkins is a Way of Life, not a short-term fix.
