The Atkins diet is heavily based on
what you eat, a.k.a. recipes (oh shi~ =x), and when many of the recipes have high amounts of saturated fats, that's plain unhealthy and moronic.
If your recipes on this board don't have high amounts of saturated fats, or cut out the negative attributes of said diets, than why even label them as "X" recipes or "Y" recipes; just call them healthy!

in fact, we just offer a bunch of recipes that those diet plans use.

I haven't read the Atkins recipes on here, but if they are actual
Atkins recipes, they would be high in saturated fats, no? =o
His claim on saturated fats not being a problem is not what I would call a founded idea. There is debate that trans fat may be worse due to its cancerogenic properties but saturated fat should still be considered a no-no health wise. While there is some discussion to the current said dangers of saturated fats, the consensus is it's still icky ;3

We pretty much preach counting calories and creating a calorie deficit to lose weight; diets don't work. Period.

Actually the majority of time when a diet doesn't work (and I'm not talking about fad diets) is because of the people and their lack of self constraint.
You have a weight loss site, you have a section devoted to Atkins, people are going to assume you support the method of how Atkins works.

Well you either burn fat or burn carbs, if you have no carbs then your body starts burning the fat, if no fat or carbs you die...

Sounds simple, sounds sensible, easy to swallow, but:
incorrect. People on Atkins lose weight (with dangerous risks) because they feel full due to the high amounts of protein intake and therefore eat less; it's not a diet, it's a fucking scam.
