as far as i know atkins i just a diet body for life is nutrition and workouts..

so BFL would be better

I did Body For Life it got me into Body building. Atkins is a diet, a BAD diet, eating fat ain't good for you!!! BFL is great I reccommend it to anybody who will listen! It is a great introduction into body building.

Have done both ----> Body for life is a commercialised bodybuilding plan (simplified). It is more sound and balanced in terms of training needs so I would recommend that over the Aitkens diet.

Both plans work but the B4Life program is essentially better for you in the long term.

I tried Atkins a long time ago but it really didn't seem prudent to me...couldn't get my head around the mix of foods. Plus, a lot of what I read even then suggested that folks got easy gains, then went backwards.

No personal experience of BFL, but anecdotally it does seem to have been more effective for bodybuilders and folks seeking to work on their body shape.

I have read about Body 4 and from what I make of it is good for people who want to get into this sport.

I've done both... Lost a shitload of weight on Atkins a long time ago, before I knew what I was actually doing to my body. It's really not sustainable and that means you can end up putting the weight back on...

I'd go with the consensus and say that BFL is much more sustainable long term and I'm assuming you're not after a quick fix!

BFL: You can't go wrong with the combination of a good diet, exercise and rest.

I wouldn't touch Atkins with a barge pole.

BFL will sort you out. It's an excellent intro to exercise, gym and better long-term nutrition. It's great for motivation and relatively easy to stick with for 12 weeks. Get amongst!

Body for lifes principals are from BodyBuilding. It's a great place to start to learn consistancy with training and diet and sets good foundations!
