Just some minor nitpicking

"Moreover, the Atkins-Taubes thesis of "fat won’t make you fat" encourages obesity in a similar way: It offers carte blanche for consuming limitless calories, only this time swapping carbohydrates for fat. "

Once again they never read the book.

"Carbohydrates at the top of what’s called the "hypoglycemic index" are the most evil of the evil, since they cause blood sugar to rise the fastest."

hypoglycemic index?! *lol*
These people are clueless...

""the probable explanation for the greater weight loss in the groups on the Atkins regimen" is that it "gives people a framework to eat fewer calories, since most of the choices in this culture are carbohydrate driven....You’re left eating a lot of fat, and you get tired of that. Over time people eat fewer calories." That would make the Atkins plan nothing more than a low-calorie diet in disguise."

No sh!t sherlock! Of course it's lower calorie - BUT!!!! we all feel satisfied on it, totally undeprived!
As to getting tired of eating fats - well, I'll let you know when that happens! It aint gonna be in a hurry, I'll tell you that
