The Sunday Mirror reports Westlife star Bryan McFadden has lost nearly 30 pounds after two weeks on the Atkins diet. “I can still eat burgers and fry ups but I just don’t touch carbohydrates,” said dad-of-two Bryan, 23. “To be honest, it did get me down when people were rude about my size, but this diet is a revelation. It’s really changed my life because I can still eat all my favorite things without putting on weight.”

Oh come on if you look at the diet before I can see why Bryan was putting on weight! You don’t really need the Atkins die tot loose weight.If you eat smart-whole wheat carbs, fruit,veggies,lean meats,lean diary,no caloric drinks you can loose weight too and have a variety. If you’re going to eat bread have 2 slices not 5 or 6. IT is calories that count!
You also have to have a lot of willpower to be on a diet like Atkins. Not many stick with it and I see why. But anyway, moderation is key and much better for the long term. I hope he is able to keep the weight off once he starts eating normally again.
