I did high protein low carb for years.
I went on the Suzanne Sommers diet (which is similar to Atkins)
and ended up in the hospital. Too much meat. I stick to weight watchers now, even though I 'm a little carb sensitive, they now have a lower carb variation of their program.
My mom did Atkins when I was a kid. She'd pee on these little ketone sticks to see if your body was in ketosis-an excellerated fat burning state. When she was in ketosis, she would smell so bad. We'd diet together and eat full slabs of colby cheese and the famous 70's diet plate of cottage cheese and a hamburger patty. omg!
It's funny what comes back into vogue after so many years.
I'm looking forward to the scarsdale resurgance when the Stepford Wives movie opens. It's a predictable deja vu!!
