By the end, both groups had lost about the same amount of weight,

all their weight in the first six months, then remained at a steady
weight.

Which is precisely the PROBLEM I had with Atkins. After six months I entered
a six month stall, and have only broken that stall by switching to a
low-calorie diet.

Mr. Lerner, you seem to believe that following the Atkins diet
requires one to consume great quantities of food. After six months
you entered a six month stall because you were eating too much. Do
not blame the Atkins diet. Gluttony is not on the list of rules for
the Atkins diet. Perhaps a thorough reading of the section in DANDR
titled "The Atkins and you diet" is in order. It is near the end of
most editions just before the recipe section. HTH
