One other thing, Atkins has a much longer history than South Beach. If you read the intro to SBD, you find Agatson mined the literature on low carb and found that it works to improve cardiac and blood sugar markers and health, but he could not get his head around all the fat, especially saturated fat.
So, he set out to "improve" on it and the result is South Beach - what if his "improvements", including low fat milk, legumes and grains, are really detriments rather than improvements?
