I've used the Atkins diet before to quickly shed some weight. It does work well, but it is hard for people who work more than a few miles from home, you can't just run home at lunch and grill a chicken breast. Yes, restaurants have options that you can eat but they are expensive if you want to get full.

What I have found to work well is just eat the same ole crap that I have forever, but eat less of it. Instead of getting the extra value meal, go large with a diet coke, just get the burger and diet coke or go with the tiny little happy meal (you get a cool little toy too). Go to Subway, and instead of eating a footlong sub, get the six inch and no chips. You will feel hungry and unsatisfied for a few days but your stomach will shrink down to where you will start to feel full again by eating less. Then don't blow it by over-eating. If you really feel like you need to overeat, like Thanksgiving for example do it, but only once then go back to half a sandwich. What this does is basically just cut calories, the most important thing to do to lose weight.

Cut calories and exercise.
You could do that, or cook your meat before you go to work.
