Which sucks, because I lost 60 pounds and managed to get off my diabetes medication by switching to a low-carb diet. They do work for some people, although I was getting sick of them being touted as the One True Way of Dieting. There is no real One True Way, you gotta find what works for you, and Atkins works for me.

There's of course nothing keeping you from sticking with this diet. It does wonders for me to. I don't eat anything that's white (white bread, white pasta, white potatoes), and steer clear of cheese too (too much fat).
