And you'll need more than 2 weeks. Generally, anyone who boasts of weight loss in days is really talking about dehydration. It's medically not plausible to be burning and losing fat in days. Good luck. At least it's not a 2 year commitment with hardware in your mouth :P Atkins- good for weight loss but bad for the heart.

It’s controversial because the American government for the longest times had advocated hi-carb diet through the popular food pyramid due to excess grains produced by farmers; the hi-carb concept was and is still deeply ingrained in the public as well as the medical establishments. It does trim off fat exceedingly faster than other diets known on earth, and most surprising to the medical establishments was the lowering of triglyceride as well. AMA dismissed the idea for 2 decades and finally in 2003 published an article concurring with Atkins. The real danger is misreading what Atkins’s diet is about; it does include lots of greens and fruits and exercise. Good luck.

To lose weight, drink cold water. Your body has to expend extra calories to heat up the H2O in your stomach, resulting in a rise in your resting metabolic rate. In fact, in a 2003 German study researchers estimated that drinking two additional icy quarts a day would help you burn about 100 extra calories -- or the equivalent of a pound of fat every five weeks -- with no other changes in exercise or diet. i am so trying it! i have been doing it all wrong by drinking warm water, and sipping it little by little, chey! i read this somewhere:
