What happens if i do the atkins diet?

Weight loss: All diets, including the atkins diet, work as long as they are adhered to. The problem with most diets is that they are a variance from the normal eating pattern and most revert to that even after losing the weight and so they gain the weight again. The atkins diet has some detractors but can work if done well.

Shrinking.: Depending on your weight when you start, you can certainly expect to loose some weight. If excess carbohydrates were a main part of your diet then you should expect to see serious results. Like all diets, sticking to it is always a challenge. I recommend assistance with a physician versed in the Atkin's program.
