Well the ONE SHOT FOR dramatic weight loss well, kinda sorta, for strict atkins I kinda sorta believe it the very first time I tried low carb I didn't even have a book I just had instructions on what to eat what not to eat..... I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks with some major cheats but I wasn't able to really sustain that lifestyle, same type of job I have now secretarial.

NOW it's slower on any diet but I have seen some dramatic weight losses here and there when I start 'THE PLAN" WHEN i STARTED weight watchers when I did the fat flush etc.

I think it all depends on your motivation.........this time I am seeing some VERY decent results and I am just doing basic low carb now following anyone's rules.

Good luck.
