1. The Atkins diet has been shown to be ineffective because people are unable to stick to it for the long term. It's better to use an exchange diet, like the diabetic diet. There are no significant differences between what diabetics and healthy people should eat. Exchange Diet (written for diabetics, but it is good for others): http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/eating_ez/index.htm To loose weight: eat a balanced diet, eat less, and exercise more. To keep the weight off, you should lose about 1 pound per week. Spot reducing (e.g. from waist or thighs) does not work.

2. Be careful with the atkins. It can work. 6ft & 185# sounds good to me though. If you keep it up, you should see noticable changes in two-three months. I noticed when I started exercising this way (three times a week with swimming in between two days a week) that I was very hungry. I bought lots of microwave veggies (in the fresh food aisle) or opened a bag of salad and ate the whole thing with salsa on it (and a slice or two of leaner cheese or jerky). Also, drink lots & lots of water.
