If you read Atkin's book ALL THE WAY THROUGH, you'll find he does NOT suggest using a diet with NO carbs. For the first 2 weeks on Atkins you are supposed to have 25gm carbs and then INCREASE your intake to where the results are what you would like. I believe he even says that it can be unhealthy to stay on the less then 25gm for an indefinate amount of time. It can be very
dangerous if you don't read about the diet and find out the right things to do. It always helps to do research about the diet you are thinking of going on and to talk to your doctor about it also.
Eating a balanced diet from the food pyramid ( grains, fruits, veggies, dairy, poltury, and fats) has not worked at all for me, I'll stick with my smart lower-carb meals
