I never said I was against Atkins.
Yes, people lose a lot of weight on it. You also can lose a lot of weight by eating some carbs. It is all about moderation. If you feel Atkins is the way to go for you, then do it. I personally do not think anything is healthy when it has you totally cut out a whole food group.
When you plan a diet, you need to think long term. Atkins is not something that makes sense long term.
If you are going to choose a pre-set diet, I would vote for South Beach before Atkins.
