What's the general consensus here on the Atkins Diet, or any low-carb diet?
Good or bad? Better than a low-fat diet? Anyone here on a low-carb diet?
Thanks in advance.

This may not be the general consensus but it’s mine.

Published diets are a way to upset ones over eating habits by limiting
ingredients or food groups enough to limit portion sizes and caloric
intake. They have different methods which may or may not control
hunger, but the bottom line is getting to a point where calories in are
less than calories burned for weight loss or equal to calories burned
for weight maintenance.

In answer to your question about which is better; which ever one’s
complex method controls your appetite better so that you can achieve the
simple goal of calorie reduction.
