Dr. Atkins' plan has drawn criticism for its advocacy of ketosis as a weight-loss tool, but critics and supporters alike seem to be overlooking a key point-- the "sugar cure" it provides. My experience with a version of this diet (I cheat) is...

I must be the only one in the world this diet did not work for! Everyone I spoke to said how wonderful it was. 30lbs. lost, 32lbs., 37lbs., on and on. I ran out, bought the book and started this wonderful new diet. Great, now I have permission from a...
