Im not into long reviews. I don't like reading long reviews myself so I wont bore you. I tried the diet and it worked. In the first two weeks alone I lost 20 pounds without exercise. In 6 months I lost 70 pounds. I put other friends on it and they had similar results. It's now 5 years since I went on Atkins and Im still thin and energetic. Im 40 years old and look as if Im in my late 20's. (A by-product of the glutathione and other vitamins found naturally in beef). It works and its as simple as that.
