I came to Atkins as an undiagnosed hypothyroid. For about 6 months before that I had been eating 1400cal and up to 20g fat and gained 18 pounds, while doing gym workouts.
The first month of Atkins I lost 10 pounds, then nothing for 5 months. I thought I was only eating 15 carbs a day, but was eating a lot of those darn bars with the hidden carbs in them.
After I started on armour, I increased my carbs to 100 because I couldn't tell if all the funny feelings I had were ketosis or the medication. After 6 weeks I started losing a every week on a 100 carbs a day, about 1500 calories. Last week I was ready to start again, went down to 30 carbs per day and lost 4 pounds.
So yes, Atkins definetly is working for my in my own slow way.
