I think the key is really finding out what works best for you.

After consulting my naturopath I've been put on a zone-type diet
to control my insulin levels which are pretty wacked out right now.
I previously followed Atkins and found that it really set me up to cheat and the back and forth between low-carb, high-carb is not doing me any good. A more balanced approch is where I am at now. I don't eat any wheat products, milk or any artificial/natural sugar (direct doctors orders). Instead I use complex non-wheat carbohydrates like brown rice, rice pasta, lentils and oats.

After some experiementation with the low-carb plans, you'll definatley find one that works for you.
