LOL - I'm not getting hostile. Every person I've known who's done the Atkins thing has lost weight. Fine. But the healthful key to losing weight is to build muscle and engage in aerobic activity. Atkins is a quick fix - few who do it also exercise.

As odd as it sounds, I think that you'll find quite a few people that use it in the bodybuilding and powerlifting "community" (and I hate to say that word, community). Its not necessarily a permanent thing, but a very useful tool for overcoming a sticking point or when other approaches fail.

Right, but that's not Atkins. They do it to fool their bodies, just like they change their lifting routines. Effective, perhaps - but not Atkins.
