OK.. I didn't read everyone else's replies, but cutting out carbs Atkins way is a great way to drop 10 pounds quickly. It shocks your ody. It is unhealthly to try to live without carbs because it is too hard on your liver & kidneys.
Even the Atkins diet only has carbs severly restricted for two weeks, then you add them back in. If you try it, you might realize you were eating a crazy amount of carbs that you probably weren't burning off.
You can maintain the weight loss if you continue to exercise (cardio + weights) and eat well.
If you want a good starting point to start working out & eating right, I suggest Bill Phillips Body for Life plan. It's how I got in shape. (& Chris knew me before I got in shape! :o)
