They'll take more meat but still put it on the bread," Riotel says. "And they'll cut something else out like coleslaw."

doh, so much for understanding low-carb. Keep the bad, dismiss the good

The Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet and the lesser-known cyclical ketogenic diet (a favorite among bodybuilders) all slash carbohydrate intake and beef up protein and fat consumption. How much and what kind of carbs allowed differ from plan to plan. On Atkins, fruit is a no-no. On South Beach, fruit is initially prohibited but later added back. The cyclical ketogenic diet promotes five days of low-carb eating (similar to Atkins) and two "carb up" days.

Wow first time I hear of the cyclical ketogenic diet outside of this forum.
Atkins needs an aggressive campaign cause people just don't get it. Atkins and South Beach are identical in how they permit fruits.
Maybe Atkins should close shop and start a new program. Same thing, but with a new more catchy name. They could even say that the old Atkins is bad but try our new and improve Atkins. In the old one you could eat an unlimited quantities of meat, fat, and butter but you weren't allowed any veggies or fruit of any kind. Now you are allowed satisfying portions of meat, fat, veggies and some fruit. Bet it be wildy popular and embraced by all the nutritionists and doctors in the country.
