Yeah, I used to be on the Atkins diet. It worked really well. I've posted my curent weight, and, at the time of starting this I was bout the same thing. Using the diet, I got down to 220. But, then something happened (totally unrelated to the diet) where I had to get surgery. For some reason, after the surgery, the Atkins diet didn't work for me anymore and I ended up gaining all the weight back.
Anyway, Atkins works really well. That's one I'd recomend, but, only if you're willing to give up certain things.
