I sense sarcasm but for the record:

The first issue of "Dr Atkins' Diet Revolution" appeared in
1972--a third of a century before 2004. That's a long time
for a fad to reach its peak. Not counting occasional (and
sometimes sustained) off-the-wagon-fallings, I've been on
Atkins since the 1976. When I go off it, my weight goes up
and my cholesterol goes through the roof. When I go back on,
both go down. So long as I remain on it, both remain stable.
