...But because the conventional diet is cheaper -- fruits, vegetables and low-fat products are generally less expensive than excessive amounts of meat and low-carbohydrate products -- why follow the Atkins diet?

Because on a lowfat, high carb diet I am listless all the time and become overwhelmingly sleepy in the afternoon and early evening. That lack of energy disrupts my life. On a low-carb plan I have energy all day and don't become sleepy until bedtime.
