Questions about Atkins

bunchesonothing

I don't want to start a flame war, but I have some questions. What is the premise behind Atkins? Is it that carbs are the devil? I guess I just don't understand why there is a need to limit one macronutrient. What does that solve? And what does it mean for the person's health? Can the Atkins diet be healthy? I'm not interested in doing Atkins, but I am interested in understanding how it works better.
