I hate articles like that...
obviously these people who write these articles have never picked up and read an atkins book....
I have been eating low carb for almost 3 yrs, and will never go back.. This is my way of life...
But anyway, no where in any low carb book (be it atkins, stillmans, etc) do they say you can eat unlimited calories..
The only reason most people are so SUCCESSFUL on low carb is because of being in ketosis.. while in ketosis alot of people lose a huge loss of appitite....

but in honest opinions, is low carb "junk" any better then low fat "junk"
