Reply #74: Yes. That's what Atkins ends up being, actually: [View All]

fewer calories.

The thing is, for people who need the guidance of a "diet" mentality, and need it all spelled out for 'em (like me), Atkins provides an eating plan that is pretty easy to stick to. That's the issue. What can you adhere to? Apparently many of us can't stick to the low-fat regimen, or else that regimen simply doesn't work for us. We can do Atkins, fairly easily. (And anyway, what's the damn USDA food pyramid if not a "diet"??)

Those that can hang with a low-fat lifestyle (and lose weight on it),more power to ya. Some of us have different metabolisms, I guess.
