Atkin's Diet didn't quite cut it.

Years ago I tried the Atkin's diet. You remember the one that was almost all protein. You went into keytosis or something to see if you were burning the fat.
I lost weight but sure missed all the bread and pasta and such. In the long run, just couldn't keep it up and put back all the weight I took off. I learned later that diet was rough on your kidneys.
I think I heard somewhere that before he died Dr. Atkins was looking a more of a balanced diet including green carbs. Too bad he didn't get a chance to improve on what he started.
