Out of all the diets I've tried, Atkins and Raw Food have been the biggest weight loss winners. Atkins was fairly easy and I did it for a couple of years (with a whole foods philosophy), but stopped when I got pregnant and the hormones made it impossible to look at anything greasy. Raw Food was an incredible experience but also incredibly difficult; I only made it 27 days. In that time I lost 12 pounds, and my husband (who has more to lose) lost 25 pounds.
My next plan is to combine the two (eat anything from Atkins PLUS anything from Raw Food), but I am going to wait until I put back on a few pounds before running that experiment.
The biggest downside is that almost anything inexpensive is off both the diets.
