    Atkins is toxic because it sends your body into ketosis. I can't recommend The Zone diet books enough. Dr. Barry Sears is the author and he discusses the difference between Atkins and other plans. The first book I read was "A week In The Zone". VERY informative. I also read Perfect Zone Meals (or something like that, loaned that book out and haven't gotten it back yet). It's all about controlling insulin levels and very simple to follow. You do cut your breads, rice, cereals, potatoes, etc. down substantially (starches) but keep in mind, veggies and fruits are CARBS! You can go to the zone diet . com website and check it out. I've lost 24 lbs since Jan 11 and I haven't been extremely strict with it.
