This is not really a craze. Atkins (although I think they have way too much meat/bad fats) has proven results in alot of people. They ARE exercising more than they did before, at least the people I have talked to personally.
And after a lifetime of trying to lose weight with fad/craze diets going from the cabbage soup diet in my twenties to trying to just "eat healthy with smaller portions" and exercise, SouthBeach Diet worked for me and my husband.
And now we have a new lifestyle of eating right. Yes, we eat carbs. Vegetables 2-3 times a day, are the best--complex carbs. We eat "starchy" and sweet carbs sparingly. Lean meat, fruit,nuts, cheeses. So whats not healthy? We are feeling the best we have in our entire lives. Get a book, read it and then judge. I've probably gotten at least a dozen people on it and they are losing and doing well too. Gotta be something to it, its working for a huge amount of people.
