ive been doing this routine for a long time, I think for me its the best, I would try it for a week or two and if its too much than use less weight, the weight I listed is the weight I use and if anyone was to try this routine for the first time than I would encourage them to use extremely light weight and work up to the big stuff,doing different body parts over the course of the week will keep you from overtraining, some people might not be able to do this 3 days a week, in that case 1 full body workout once a week would be just as effective, and girls who lift dont get big like the bodybuilder girls, they get big with steriods, to get that big you would need huge amounts of testosterone and normal girls dont produce nearly enough to become even half that size, so dont worry about getting bulky or too big, cause it wont happen, weight training is the best exersize for weight loss because it promotes muscle growth, and muscle burns lots of calories even when your resting so consider it and maybe try it, youll see Posts: 2 | From: New Hampshire | Registered: Jul 2002

Thanks for sharing your workout schedule. I also want to stress that the Atkins diet is not the correct diet to be on if you want to see optimum results from weight training. I think the Zone diet is a better one to use if you want to seriously weight train.
Optimally you should be consuming at least 1 gram of protein per lb weight and 15% fat with the balance in low glycemic carbs except after a workout when you can go for the high glycemic ones to replenish your glycogen.
