I have tried a few diets in the past and some have worked more than others. One that I stayed the longest in was the ever-popularied ‘Atkins Diet’, where you get rid of carbohydrates and instead munch on lots of meat!

It really isn’t that bad a diet. Believe me, I’ve seen worse, and with this one, the highlight of the meal is the meat, of which you can have as much as you want. Vegetables go hand-in-hand with this diet, but fruit is also taken out because it contains too much sugar. I did however miss all the rice, bread, potatoes and grain products that make a dinner feel wholesome, but with as much meat as you could eat, how could you go wrong?

The fact is that this diet does work, and you can lose a good few pounds from following the previous steps and exercising. Unfortunately, the Atkins Diet should never be used for longer than a few months, because the lack of carbs and fruits can cause long-term problems if you refuse to eat either of those after a while.

Besides that, it is a good, successful diet. You never feel hungry because in truth you can have as much as you want…as long as it’s either meat, veggies, or both.
