Nobody said other diets don't work. You did what you did, great. This diet has been used for a long long time - first by people who were sick and then later by bodybuilders and certain athletes. Those people understand how to use it. They understand that they can't just eat liquid lard. They understand how to supplement fiber without increasing their net carbs.
And most people do not know how to even get their body into ketosis. They don't even know how it works and don't understand a bit about it. It's like the morons who drink diet cokes with their big macs.

1)Actually I realized this from an article that was recently on Yahoo news, which I will post right after I post this. The guy has a GREAT point.
2)I *personally* believe the healthiest, safest, and best way to keep weight off in the long run, is the traditional way: cut back on refined carbs, eat more whole grain bread, etc, follow a low-fat, low-cholestoral, low-sugar diet, and excersize regularly. This way, you are not eliminating anything important from your diet, you are learning to make good food choices and proper portion sizes, and making exercise an important part of your life. All three doctors I asked said Atkins is VERY unhealthy and just reinforces people to make bad food choices.
I know many people who have done Atkins and most of them have told me it made them feel like crap and they gained the weight back.
I just wish the South Beach Diet could become bigger than Atkins, because it teaches good eating habits and about good carbs vs bad carbs.
