Sure, I lost 25 pounds in seven weeks on the Atkins diet. I never felt hungry, never felt I was doing without. (Any diet that lets me eat all the bacon, sausage, meats and veggies I want is alright by me) I cut my carbs down to around 40-50/day, less than he suggests. I cut out what I've always called "starchy" foods - potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, etc. I also started walking around the neighborhood and doing situps and simple exercises when I got home. Once you get near your target wieght, start adding carbs back in. Can't live on a low carb diet forever. Worked for me.
