As everyone here knows, you need to keep your blood sugar level balanced to lose weight. I dont think you could lose weight fast on any other plan. Most of the people who have not suceeded also have not followed the plan correctly. I wish you luck, but giving up isnt going to do you anygood. Everyone hears that on atkins you lose mass amounts of weight, ect ect. Well I dont know anyone who loses that much weight, unless they have alot of weight to lose. Losing weight takes work. If you arent willing to put in the effort and TIME, then you arent going to be very happy with your body.
