    I think what we can all take away from this is

    1. MODERATION
    2. Eating "whole foods" (ie processed carbs are obviously not part of a healthy lifestyle)
    3. Check with your doctor
    4. Think about what works for you

    I don't know if Atkins works long terms. I don't know if its healthy/unhealthy. I am skeptical and know it wouldn't work for me personally but I can't say that with any certainty for someone else. None of us can. So hopefully those take away points are helpful in your quest to figure out what's best :)

    I did Atkins in the past and it does work. It is very hard to stick to but with anything, the first 2 weeks were the hardest. I did lose weight quickly without exercising, which I loved. For me, Atkins wasn't a lifestyle change. Once I went off of Atkins, I gained my weight back rapidly and even more.

    What I would do, is use bits and pieces from each "diet trend" and just try to eat healthier. Use this website and log everything you are eating and make some friends on here. I feel by being accountable and having other people see my diary, I am less likely to cheat.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
