    The Atkins and South Beach diets are two very popular and remarkably similar diets that focus on low carbohydrate intake. Both diets were developed by medical doctors who wanted to get away from the opinion generally prevalent, that fats in the diet were primarily to blame for obesity, which was, and still is, a major problem in the population.

    Reducing your daily calorie input from the food you eat is a well known strategy based on the scientific principle that the amount of calories you consume each day should be no more than the amount you use each day, rather they should be less. If you consistently take in slightly less calories than you expend then you should gradually shed weight as your body uses its reserves.

Was it perhaps that you didn’t really feel motivated enough and your initial enthusiasm began to wane after a couple of weeks when it seemed you had achieved only a disappointingly small amount of weight loss? Was it perhaps that you found your chosen diet too difficult or too time consuming to follow?

    If you are one of the many people trying to lose weight, have been dieting for a few weeks, but seen no apparent weight loss, it could be due, in part at least, to hidden calories. If you are on a proper, healthy diet, then you can expect it to take a few weeks before any noticeable difference occurs. Your weight can vary by up a couple of pounds from week to week anyway depending on various factors such as hormones, so until you are confident that you have lost 3-4 pounds you will not be happy.

    Fad diets and crash diets, such as the cabbage soup diet and Hollywood diet, are not only unhealthy but also tend to result in rebound weight gain. In other words, the weight you have lost is soon regained, either because the weight loss was mainly water, soon inevitably restored by the body, or because you cannot keep up a severely restrictive food diet for ever, or even for very long.
