Would I lose weight just as fast if I did south beach instead of atkins or is atkins faster? Thank you. (link)

For starters, the Atkins Diet is extremely unhealthy. Eating large quantities of saturated fat and denying your body the whole grains it needs is horrible for you, and will make you way more unhealthy than being overweight ever could.
That being said, people who do the Atkins diet usually lose weight fast at first, but it levels off in the end. That might be good for beginning motivation, but this period of losing weight fast does not last. The South Beach diet is more reasonable than Atkins. You might not lose weight as fast at first, but you'll either lose the same amount or more over time. Just be patient, and if you insist upon doing one of these commercial diets, go with South Beach.
However, out of all the commercial diets, consider that Weight Watchers has the highest success rate. If you're going to drop cash on some kind of program to lose weight, you might as well spend your hard earned money on one that has proven itself as the best of the bunch.

Thank you for the advice. I agree that it is unhealthy if you are eating saturated fats and unhealthy choices, I am not planning on doing that, I am just going to eat low carb and exercise like the models do. I only really eat fresh meats and I am not going to be spending any extra money besides grocery money. Thanks for the concerns :)
