In Dr Atkins first book, he made it a point to say that CALORIES ARE IMPORTANT. He just thought that carbs were more important.
For instance, according to his research, if you ate 1500/day calories low carb, you would lose weight faster than if you ate 1500/day calories high carb.
The calories still matter.
All of these diets where people think they can eat unlimited quantities of food so long as they cut out one form of macronutrient (carbs, fat, protein) are one of the reasons we're fatter than ever.
If you eat an excess of calories you'll gain weight, regardless of what kind of calories they are (protein, carbs, or fat)...if you eat less than you burn, you'll lose weight, regardless of what kind of calories you're eating.
It's pure mathematics....everything else doesn't matter. Everyone is going to have a theory....but if they lost weight it's because they ate fewer calories than they burned. Simple as that.
