:.Knock on wood:. I was blessed with a fast metabolism. I can pretty much eat whatever i want.. However, i studied nutrition for 2 yrs. And honestly, the best and most effective method is MODERATION. If you exercise, eat right, and consume less calories than your daily requirement, you will lose weight the right way. All these fad diets are just an easy way out. You will gain the weight back SOO FAST once you stop. Atkins is all water loss, thats why so many people lose weight quickly. Carbs turn into glucose, and excess glucose is stored in your fat cells. However, if you eliminate it, your body has nothing to "run on". Glucose is our bodies fuel. So, thus your not burning glucose, your burning protien. And protein is stored in our muscles, ..but what weighs more? Muscle or fat? Muscle does, so since your burning protein, your increasing muscle loss... hence, lose weight quickly.
