Nothing casual about my comments, I have tried Atkins, exactly as Atkins
taught and it was not a good diet.

Didn't I just read, from you: "There are no such things as bad diets,
there are only bad dieters." ?

I went from Atkins to increased carbs,
basically cutting all processed carbs but not cutting back on carbs from
fresh food, even high carb fruit and vegetables. That worked - I have
energy and I maintain a very low body fat percentage.

This right here shows you did *not* do Atkins as written.
