How effective is the Atkins diet in the long run? I'm trying to lose some weight and someone told me to go on the atkins diet. Personally I'm a little concerned about it. My younger brother playes football for his high school and whenever he needs to lose weight in a hurry he goes the atkins route. The problem is he never stays on it and his weight jumps right back up. I want to lose some weight but, I don't want to go up and down like that. Does anyone know if the atkins diet is safe or is my brother just unable to stay on the diet?

Hey Ardeema, and welcome to Ofear

Well the Atkins diet is basically a long-term plan for weight loss, and it's very different.
It changes your lifestyle completely and helps you to start eating correctly in order to lose weight and burn fat.
The Atkins diet is very effective, it also helps you to maintain your best weight

I see it as the easiest and safest and the most guaranteed form of diet!
If you stick to the diet, you'll lose weight very quickly and you'll eventually maintain your ideal weight, but your brother apparently didn't stay on it so his weight jumps right back up which is a very wrong thing to do, as it is unhealthy in the long run.
So my advice to you is to start the Atkins diet, and hold on to it as long as you can, it teaches you to eat the right food and organizes your eating agenda, it's very healthy and safe, and it makes you lose weight and fat quickly!

Good luck with that, much love! :laugh:
