Last time I'll say it then I stop defending a WOE that I dont even follow:
Atkins does not cut out all carbs. It does indeed focus on "bad" carbs and starches. There are many extremists who follow their own form of Atkins that's not particularly healthy but that doesn't make the actual Atkins diet, when properly followed, bad.
