UK Breakfast TV station GMTV are running a series this week on various ways to lose weight, highlighting various low-fat diets (Slimming World, Rosemary Conley, Weight Watchers etc). However, they also actually have someone trying the Atkins Diet!

I have to admit to being somewhat sceptical about this, as they describe the Atkins diet as "A high protein low carbohydrate diet that allows you to eat lots of fattening foods and not many vegetables!".

Although only members in the UK will be able to view it, I thought it might be of interest and, even if you can't watch it, you can follow the Atkins dieter's experiences through the GMTV website:
