I second Atkins. There are so many who are told to go on Atkins by doctor's whose patients are diabetic. Ketosis is not the same as Ketoacidosis. Read the book!
There is nothing "hoaxy" about reducing carbohydrates in your diet. Diabetes is a huge epidemic and the body basically just gives up on providing gobs and gobs of insulin to convert the average person's daily carbo feast into useable energy. I mean the food pyramid that was JUST recently tossed out wanted you to have ELEVEN servings of bread! In one day! Who does that benefit? Grain growers, maybe?
If the average person's breakfast is toast, eggs and bacon, why would eliminating the toast be "dangerous?" If the average person has a sandwich of turkey, swiss and some soup for lunch, what is "unhealthy" about not having the bread? If you have chicken, potato and veggies for dinner, why is it not wise to skip the potato and double up on the veggy? There is no person on earth that can't survive without bread, without potatoes, without rice. ALL of the nutrients in these foods are found, in higher amounts, in other foods. Humans have no innate need for grains or sugar or potatoes or corn.
The body converts protein and fat into glucose as it needs to. If that wasn't the case, everyone who has ever tried a low carb diet would be dead in a couple days when their liver stores of glucose were used up.
Low carb is NOT a high fat diet unless you choose high fat items consistently. Low carb isn't even high protein unless you make it that way. Low carb is just low carb. People need to stop labeling this diet as harmful.
Any diet can be bad for you if you make poor choices in the realm of what is allowed on that diet. Atkins is no different. If you choose bacon and eggs, your health will reflect your choices, although you can still lose weight. But people have their stomachs stapled! Their nutritional intake FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES is going to be poor! That's acceptable and Atkins isn't? It just makes no sense. And to me, when things just don't add up, there are usually unfounded biases involved.
I love Dr. Atkins and one more thing! Look at this link if anyone tells you he died as a result of this diet. He died from a fall on the ice and a blow to his head.
