Nope, you have to limit it too, I think one cup. Definitely go on the site, it tells you everything you can and can't eat.
Dita - the first week or two you get weak (at least I did) but it's because your body is going through sugar and carb withdrawal. It gets better afterwards!

Atkins is the way to go if you need to lose weight fast, but if you are looking for a long term diet- weight watchers is better. I lost 17 pounds in about a month with Atkins, but as soon as I stopped, I gained it all back and then some... That always happens. But if you are looking for a quick fix... go the atkins root, but be prepared to gain it back and mor when you stop it.

I agree. This is so true. I always liked Weight Watchers because it allows you to eat WHAT YOU WANT, just smaller portions. I'd love to do Atkins, but I'm a carboholic and I'm not a big fan of eating lots of meat or chicken all by itself. I'm fine with 4oz of chicken or meat. It's the side pasta or rice dishes that kill me.
Good Luck with whatever you choose to do.

Re: Help I am gaining weight!
Do you exercise along with being on Atkins?
If so, where or how do you get the energy for any cardio? I think I'd faint without most of these prohibited foods....
Just wondering............

ATKINS!!!!!!
I am not a fan of it myself, but if you need immediate results, it works!
I second Atkins. It works for quick results - but nothing permanent if you starting eating normally again.

Yes, I do exercise when I'm on it. It's the only way I could get out of the plateaus.
Your body des get used to eating that way so you eventually build up energy and have no problems. But it does take a few weeks.

I'd go with Weight Watchers because the weight stays off and I know I'm conscious of the food I eat now, without dieting (for example little things like I stick with skim milk in my coffee). I lost about 15 lbs over a year ago (and I only needed to lose about 5) and it has stayed off. I think it's a healthier route.
