Another Weight Loss Fad
The Atkins Diet is no longer targeting a carb count. Now Atkins has changed the "net carbs" diet to a new diet strictly for people watching their blood sugar levels rather than carbs. This has been going on for quite a while in Europe and is just recently reaching the United States. They say the problem with the Atkins diet was that people were able to lose the weight but not keep it off. Since dieters were getting tired of the fad, Atkins felt that they needed to find a new way for people to lose weight yet keep the economy going. Has the weight loss industry gone too far? Is there really a secret to losing weight and is it worth the money? Or should people just result to the priceless, yet not always easiest way: exercise.

I agree... dieting alone is not going to make someone lose the amount of weight they would like to. However, the weightloss process does have to begin somewhere. As Ashley mentioned, the Atkins diet was framed around those with diabetes. And many diabetics have followed the diet, lost weight, and this has saved their lives. I also agree with deeken though.. people are always looking for the easy way out.. which is why the weight loss industry is such a good business.. so many people are concerned with how they look today.
