The Atkins diet does work, at least it did for me. But the key is that you have to go through all the phases of the program and stick with it. The first stage, induction, is the most strict. THIS IS NOT the Atkins diet, it is merely to start you off with quick weight loss (mostly water) and try to lessen your dependency on "white foods".

Gradually you are allowed more food choices and by the last phase of lifetime maintenance, you are allowed brown rice and things like that as long as you stay in your ideal carb range.

The New Atkins diet as evolved a lot and now includes more allowance of fresh vegetables per day and advises for healthier fats to be consumed in smaller amounts.

But, any diet coupled with exercise will work for most people. You just have to stick with it.
