It’s bad because of the lack of emphasis on eating non-CAFO beef, non-pastured chicken/eggs/dairy & strict avoidance of N-6 fats/oils. Atkins is a short-term therapeutic diet for relatively fast weight loss, & is certainly not healthy or optimal in the long run.

Perhaps, all true. I was speaking to the core issue of animal fats as a danger to our health and weight. Atkins was the pioneer in debunking that. That the nutrition industry still ignores that more and more obvious fact is scandalous.

Yes, Atkins was a pioneer, & I think what still confuses the nutrition industry about saturated fats is all the confounders in CAFO beef. That stuff has a pretty lousy fatty acid profile, plus all the hormones/antibiotics & other crap. All these factors make it somewhat easy for the conventional wisdom crowd to continue to pillory red meat. If you eat real food, including a decent amount of healthy red meat/pastured chicken/eggs, it's actually quite easy to end up with impressive looking blood lipid test results. The CW crowd denies that could ever happen, despite all the evidence.
