Are low carb diet plans for you?

"I wanted to lose weight really bad but I had no idea how to do so. I tried dieting on my own. I tried the cabbage soup diet; the eating only red meat diet; I even tried going vegetarian for a while. But nothing seemed to work. Then I heard about the low carb diet plans like Atkins and South Beach. I tried Atkins out for a while and it seemed to be working. But after I've been on it, there is only so far you can go. You lose as much as you can and then you bottom out. What I lost was good enough, but I still wanted to lose more." Jane, Kansas

"I've been looking for a way to lose weight for the summer so I can swear my swim wear. So naturally, I went for the South Beach diet. It seemed the best of all the low carb diet plans. But what did I get instead of a healthy diet plan? I got all this fancy expensive food, and the only thing that lost weight was my wallet. The only reason I lost any bit of weight is because I had no money left over to buy normal food." Terry, Michigan
