Any diet can be bad for you if you dont investigate it...i suggest to any person willing to start the atkins that they study up on it first. A single person can make a diet unhealthy just by doing it wrong. I wont call it a lie.

The book isn't a "lie", but I do have to admit that more and more studies are proving that the Atkins Way of Life isn't the healthiest way to go. Personally, when I was on it, I didn't get sick from the food...in fact I felt GREAT! But I eventually went off the diet after about 2 months and I gained back all 8lbs that I lost and MORE! ~~MissyK~~
