I just read where you stated "Atkins sucks". I was on the Atkins diet for approximately 8 months prior to my wedding in January 2006. This diet really puts your body through the wringer. After about three months on the diet, my hair starting falling out. Of course, I went to the doctor, and he advised that I had to come off of the diet and that my hair issue was due to Atkins. I did not listed to his advice. I was losing so much weight (25 lbs. total).

I hate to be so blunt, but prior to Atkins, my kidneys functioned well. Now, I am in the restroom every 20-30 minutes. The "ketosis" wreaks havoc on you kidneys and can actually cause them to shut down.

Please, if at all possible, try a different diet. I have paid over $400.00 visiting various physicians for side effects related to Atkins.

Thanks!
