I would imagine that is partly to do with everyone eating high glycemic carbs.

Spiking insuline has similar effects on the body as eating sugar, which readily turns into fat!

bad fats screw with good fat function. That said I think you can take in alot of fat.

I think protein is good too. As an athlete you need way more than someone who sits on there ass all day.

I would like to see any studies of people on an Atkins diet for 1 year or more that show them to be healthy.

Anyone can make sense of anything if presented correctly. And loosing 10 pounds a minuit has nothing to do with health.

I'd have to see the studies that say they do the opposite to believe it.

Remeber any study less than 6 months doesn't mean much, a year is better. Function and health or more than just loosing weight and dropping cholesterol though.
