Atkins Diet & Weight Loss: Realistic Expectations & Alternatives

Question
hello, im 18 and 115 lbs 5'2.  how much can i approx. lose if i follow a strict atkins plan by march 12?  i also exercise 45 min a day on treadmill.  any suggestions? thanks!

Answer
Miss Kitty,
It's pretty unlikely you'd lose more than two or three plans, because you're already thin. Atkins only produces meaningful weight loss in people who are overweight. If you really want to change your appearance and firm up, weight training would probably make a much bigger difference.
