In 5 years it will still be working for those of us who have seen through the crap of the food pyramid.
The south beach diet is essentially the same thing but it was designed by a cardiologist who was tired of seeing his patients getting fatter and dying. But I guess it doesn't count because he is not a nutritionist. He'll need much more schooling to master that field.

Yeah it is. Where do you think our forefather's got their food? At McDonald's? The human body was not made to process the foods we have now.
Have you even read any of Dr. Atkin's work? I find it hard to believe that "professionals" find him a joke. I used to think "calories in, calories out" was correct also. My age has proven me wrong. I actually eat much less than I did before, and do more physical activity - yet I have gained weight in the past year. Obviously the "no fat" thing didn't work for people - or they wouldn't still be overweight (I dislike the word FAT).
