hmm i was thinking about going on it...if you want more information go to atkins information here the url link (if you click on it) will take you to atkins.com...they have meal plans and everything.. basically the diet is cutting out carbs entirely and focusing on things with protein and fruits and vegetables...its actually a lot more complex than what i said above but i think im just going to run it my own way and eat fruits and vegetables and protein and cut out the carbs in general...the complicated stuff get really confusing if you read to deeply into it on the site.. besides..its probably safer if you do it your way cos of all the potential health risks in the future..
