I am not convinced it is good for the long term but I am also not a doctor.
However, why do I keep thinking 'cult' when I see how people's heads almost spin around and snap at anyone who suggests it might not be good for them?

#1 you did well on this plan but you are not convinced that is good for long term.
WTF does that mean?
Just because you changed your diet and probably gained some weight back it's not good for long term?
Is that the issue, because if it is that's precisely the point...anything you do to lose weight has to be long term.
#2 re: your cult statement.
Why is it people feel the need to attack Atkins or any other low carb diet? Atkins is just one of them there are many more..
If you're on slim fast is anyone saying anything?
If you try any of the thousands of other diets out there that are far more restrictive and possibly dangerous are you questioned as to why you are on it?
No...people wish you luck then go about their business.
But mention Atkins and you get "schooled" in nutrition and all about the "risks."
But oh yeah...drinking some bogus chocolate shake in a can in place of a meal 2 times a day is a great approach to a lifetime management plan.
