It's overhyped. It's not good for you. Try exercise + veggies and cut down on fat, sugar, alcohol.
For some odd reason, Americans like these miracle cures. The cure-all pill. The cure-all diet. Use common sense instead. The Atkins Corporation only wants your money.

Atkins Nutritionals (aka "The Atkins Corporation") sells books and pre-packaged LC products that generally taste like shit. You don't (and I recommend that you shouldn't) buy the bars, shakes, and all the other crap. Whole foods rule.
All one needs to successfully follow Atkins is a $6 paperback book. But you have to read it.
"I got "sick" from Atkins". How the hell can dropping sugar, flour and processed foods from your diet make you sick?
".......... Try exercise + veggies and cut down on fat, sugar, alcohol." No shit, I wonder where I heard that at before? Oh yeah, that's Atkins!
Atkins (and low-carbing in general) is not presented as a "Miracle Cure", it's a change in the way you eat for life. It is perfectly safe. I'll take the word of my endocrinologist over the Google-educated GFY doctors every time.
How's it going, Centurion? I'm still off the diabetes meds and at 66 lbs., how about you?
