Pardon me, I just don't like it when it is said that Atkins is not a healthy diet. It is very healthy. It has been proven that the saturated fats in red meat are good for you, not the other way around. A balanced diet should have saturated and non saurated fats. THe only thing that I can see that would make the diet unhealthy is the dieter's refusal to add veggies. I am on this diet because red meat is on it. Yogurt? I used to eat some low carb yogurts if I found them but I prefer the taste of sour cream. Instead of eating yogurt I blend cinnamon and splenda into some sour cream and dollop that on some strawberries. I never ate that much yogurt anyway. My sour cream concoction is a better treat.

I am pleased with the Atkins diet. I feel that as a low-carber, that I should know as much about all of the low carb diets that I can and be an ally and supporter of them. I see no need for a revision because everyone fits these diets to their own tastes.
