My Review 

I started Atkins about ten years ago. I lost 25 pounds on Atkins and have kept most of it off, except for gaining 3 pounds which I have been maintaining for the last six years. Previous to starting Atkins, I had been been on thyroid medication with difficulty in losing weight. However, once I started Atkins and was very careful about my carbs, the weight started coming off and has remained off.

Did you successfully lose weight on this diet? 

Yes

How much weight did you lose so far? 

11-25 lbs

Pros for Thyroid Patients? 

Atkins is helping me to better understand carbohydrates and their effects on the body, especially as it relates to weight gain and loss.

Cons for Thyroid Patients? 

As in any weight loss program for thyroid sufferers, giving up favorite high carb foods is the hardest.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
