I watched an article on 20/20. They compared three diets -- Atkins, South Beach, and another I don't remember. The people who did Atkins surprisingly turned out to be the healthiest when the diet was over, not to mention they had lost the most weight. Their bad cholesterol was alot lower than the people who did the other diets. It's surprising because you would think that all of the saturated fats from the meat would just make your cholesterol worse.
