The problem with the Atkins diet is that if you get off it, you're very likely to gain your weight back rather quickly.

FF, You will gain the weight back very quickly if you quit any diet and go back to your old way of eating. A diet cannot work if you aren't on it. That is not a problem with Atkins, but with human physiology.

Of course, you will gain weight if you back to your old ways of eating, regardless of what type of diet you are on. My point is that the weight seems to come back much quicker after being on the Atkins Diet. As far as I can tell, weight is slower to return if the individual has been on a lowfat-exercise diet.
