Don't be taken in by Atkins claims for their Low Carb Multi Seed bread mix (75% less carbs than regular "brown" bread according to their packaging). In fact, it contains 71 calories per 25g slice. I compared this with regular wholemeal bread which surprise, surprise, was often under that i.e. 68calories per 28g slice! Surely they can't legally make such outrageous claims!

Atkins to me are fantastic I'm losing so much weight I'm loving it I love the taste of there bars its really helping me I've lost 2 lbs its great

After reading the Atkins book by Colette Heimowitz, I decided to try Atkins. The shakes are pretty ordinary on their own this is where you may need some imagination to create a tasty shake by adding frozen fruit and ice. They are low carb so that's the bonus. I find some of their bars too sweet, but I keep some on hand if ever I feel like a sugar hit. Eating this way has not only made me feel better it gives me more energy. The Atkins website has lots a free tools that you can use such as a carb counter and recipe ideas. For support there are a few Facebook support groups that you can join if you need meal ideas. I've tried a lot of diets, and this one i the closest to my own eating routine that I could find.

I bought this product and tried it. The taste is ok and lose few pound in a month. Sometimes it can be hard to follow, and other times its easier than other diets. But one things it excels at is fast weightloss. It's the only diet I've stuck with for longer than 1 month

The taste, in particular the after taste, of these products are revolting. The artificial sweetener lingers so long afterwards that there is no way i can continue using it. Same applies to the premix choc and vanilla varieties. Completely unimpressed. Now to see if i can unload to a friend. Not sure how people are saying it tastes good. It doesn't. Yuck.

Im going back to Optifast immediately. Its worth the extra dollars.

I usually dont write reviews for any products but this i just had to!! The diet, the bars (especially the endulge coconut chocolate) and the shakes drinks alll soooooo AH MAZE ZING

So happy i finally found the perfect diet for myself

This diet is amazing, I have been following Atkins on and off for the past 12 months and have gone from 85kg to 68kg.
I am never hungry, as long as I take time to always plan my meals and snacks as pretty much everything from a packet is forbidden.
The downside is the cost, as protein costs a lot more than bread/pasta/rice. On the upside, it is much cheaper than obesity related medication!
Do yourself a favour - read the book, plan your week. I work full time and have a toddler, this diet has given me so much more energy to keep up with life :-)
Weight loss is quick, delicious, and you don't have to starve yourself
Cost, time in the kitchen preparing meals

I tried this diet after watching a tv show about changing to a low carb diet and the health benefits involved. Although it was completely opposite to what the government and dieticians have been advocating for years. I dropped 6 kilos in the first week, then managed to steadily drop weight week after week and finally reached my goal 6 months later. It can be difficult avoiding the bad foods, especially while eating out and avoiding hidden sugars in foods. DEFINATELY worth a go, the easiest diet i ever tried.
Quick weight loss, very big improvements in my diabetes and cholesterol levels.
It can be expensive eating good quality food all the time.

The book is very self explanatory, easy diet to follow. I've been doing the Atkins way of eating for a couple of months and can't believe the results. I've lost 3 dress sizes. And am full of energy. My memory seems to have improved and I know longer have cravings, neither am I hungry. I sleep way better. I am eating more now than what I used to in the past when I was carrying extra weight.
Such an easy diet to follow
Bad breath

After losing nearly 20kg on the Dukan Diet over a period of more than five months, my weight stalled and NOTHING I could do would start the loss again.

In desperation, I turned to Atkins. I had NO faith that it would work, as I had already been on a high protein diet for most of this year. But it HAS worked! In the first three days I dropped 1.2 kg, and am confident that Atkins is right and the high fat, low carbohydrate diet is the solution.
Works brilliantly, simple and good food. Improved my health and energy in three days!
Probably not for those who can't afford high quality protein, takes determination to stick to it.

It was good but I did not think all that fat would be good for me even though I loved Baccon and eggs for Breakfast and Nice big steaks so I quit after 8 weeks and 5 kgs.
I lost weight and was not hungry between meals.
Bad breath and I missed bread

You lose weight very quickly. It is easier to follow as a lot of the food you eat is higher in fat. I did miss fruit like another reviewer said and i also missed having the energy to do my long walks in the morning. Would not do it again though... very un healthy
Loved the excuse to eat a lot of meat and fats. Was great eating eggs and bacon etc every day
Bad breath from the extreme high protein diet. Following this can make it a bit hard to find food while you are out. I cant recall how many times i was stuck and got a double quater pounder with cheese at McDonalds drive through and took off the bun! Could not be good for the heart at all!!
