I wish all of you on Atkins the best of luck. Sure, you will lose weight now, I just hope you keep it off. WW on the other hand is a great way to lose weight. Go that route. It teaches you to eat in a sensible manner. I am not mad at Atkins people, I just cannot believe what you people are saying.
By the way, Atkins has been around for 40 years huh? Well, sure has worked on us Americans, hasn't it.

Well first of all you're wrong.
People on Atkins restrict bad carbs (simple sugars) and carbs that are high in the Glycemic Index. The don't eat a lot of carbs, but they DO indeed eat some fruit and most vegetables.
The problem is that Atkins and lo-carb diets have been given a bad name by people who don't do it properly. Atkins is NOT cutting out all fruits and vegetables. If people did that they would die of malnutrition, and many people live on this diet, maintaining it as a lifestyle.
You should really know what something is before you bash it.
