If you modify the Atkins plan by cutting fats, you are really just using a regular old low-calorie plan. The physiology of Atkins works because of the fat levels and when that changes, you really aren't on Atkins. I do think that you need to do whatever type eating plan works for you....... But you really won't benefit from Atkins while cutting the fats. Just look for fat you like to eat and stay away from foods you do not like.
