Will this (Atkins) Lifestyle work for me?

[misscupcake]

I apologize before hand if my question is in the wrong thread...I'm new here...

Anyways, I only want to lose around 10-15 lbs. Is Atkins primarily for individuals who want to lose more? I've heard mixed opinions on this...

Thanks so much!!

I only want to lose around 10-15 lbs.

I would recommend you to read both Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002) and Atkins for Life.

Is Atkins primarily for individuals who want to lose more?

No. It's for everyone. After all, it has a maintenance phase.

it not only takes you to your healthy weight but it makes you very healthy too

with atkins and going to the gym besides loseing 150 pounds of fat and gaining 50-60 pounds of muscle i have also healed my stomach and the horrible IBS i used to have now this disease is 100% managed i dont suffer from it anymore

atkins is also reverseing my insulin resistant cells to a normal healthy cell what this means is i will not get type 2 diabetes now

so in short besides weight loss and muscle gain
100% managed IBS this dieases is horrible but i no longer suffer from it
100% protection vs type 2 diabetes which i would have gotten if i had keept eating the old high carb crap diet

anyways for over 99% of humans entire exsistance we have been mainly fat burning metabolisms it was the norm to eat high fat and low carb

not a single eskimo who eats there native diet is fat or has type 2 diabetes , heart disease etc

Atkins isn't a quick fix "diet", it's a healthy eating program for life.

Are you planning on "dieting" or a new lifestyle?

It really depends on YOU.
I think a person who has your amount to lose can do it on Atkins. I would even recommend it as I really like Atkins.
But losing the last 10 pounds is harder than losing the first hundred for most of us.
