Atkins diet? Has anyone tried this and how did they get on with it?

I've heard it's all meat and cheese, eggs etc.(Which I like) I have looked on the net but they just try to sell you their supplements. Someone said you end up with dog breath and piling the weight back on afterwards. Also that you can't eat veg/grains first week. Has anyone got a suggested daily menu for this so that I can have a go? Need to loose weight a bit half quick!!!! (No good at fasting) !!!!
