Surfers Around the World Keep an Eye on Atkins Diarist.

Hundreds of Atkins dieters worldwide are following the progress of one brave individual. A 29 year old Scotsman named Gary Kirk has decided to post pictures and diary entries on his website as an accurate record of his Atkins experience. Having started dieting just 5 weeks ago Gary has already shed 28 lbs and has people coming back daily for updates on how he is doing.

Visitors to www.kirk.me.uk report being motivated to start or carry on with their own dieting. Having had such a positive response Gary has himself been encouraged to stick with his diet until he reaches his target weight loss of 52 lbs. The trigger for such a drastic target was back pain from carrying more than 214 lbs on a 5 foot 11 inch frame. His doctor advised Gary of the health problems associated with obesity such as diabeties and heart conditions, Gary then took the only decision open to him and started dieting.

Garys' journey to 162 lbs is being watched closely as his revelations are allowing people to see the real life effect of the Atkins diet. Many potential converts to Atkins have become wary of trying it out due to adverse press coverage, now they have an independent view of the plan. During the past 5 weeks Gary has been quoted as saying everything from "I've not felt this good since I was 21" to "At one point I thought there was something seriously wrong", its seems this honesty is gathering interest.

Gary has stuck to the plan 100% by giving up bread, pasta, sugar, alcohol and other products containing high amounts of carbohydrates, an essential part of losing weight on Atkins. You can visit www.kirk.me.uk to see if Gary can make it from 214 to 162 lbs, give him the encouragement that he needs and help others on the road to weight loss with any tips you have.
