Kathryn,
I guess I wasn't very clear. Sorry. What I was trying to say is that I
can't understand why it is virtually unknown today.
I don't see Atkins as a maintenance diet either. I agree with you that
Atkins' avoidance of fruits, etc., is probably not right, but remember that
Atkins is a weight loss diet. The sugar in modern genetically-engineered
fruit will stop people from losing weight. (I had to snip that reference
or incur the wrath of the list owners for gratuitous over-quoting! :-) )
I was basically using Atkins as an example of a low-carb diet that's been
around for a long time but never caught on publicly, despite the fact that
people do lose tremendous amounts of weight on it.

I'd heard of it in the late 1970's. While YOU may not have, the book was a
big best-seller.
