The problems that arise from Atkins are with those people who really don't know what the fuck they are doing, who don't bother to even read the website and the book, and who just follow the myths and bad advice they hear form their friends or on TV.
I have not yet tried Atkins myself, as I am an avid beer drinker and sadly, you must cut beer out of your diet on Atkins. However I have thoroughly read the website, some of the book, and have a boss who's lost 30 pounds on it and feels great.

Actually, if you can call it beer, Michelob makes a low carb beer.
