How is Atkins regarded here?

Or better question - how is low Carb regarded.

?

I am on atkins but am ready to switch to low carb on the onset of getting back into triathlon

I am getting to be an ok overweight but have been up and down a lot - just going to do it this time - ha like the running - same feeling as starting running in the first place - sick and tired of being sick and tired.

lost 9 lbs so far

Personally, Atkins was the beginning of a healthier life for me. Many people here are of the calories in vs. calories out mindset, but I feel better on low carb. I hit the gym and do a fair amount of cardio on low carb without a problem. I say stick with what works for you!

Training for a triathlon is exactly why I switched away from low carb. I hit a wall at too low a performance level and couldn't train past it. Swapping most of the fat for carbs fixed that, and I'm regularly setting PBs for my runs, cycles swims, and lifts.
