Although a good balance is always preferable to any diet really.

IMO - This is an example of people not doing Atkins, saying they are and blaming Atkins for their ills. Failure to take supplements is the reason behind this (if I could get my scanner working, I would post the page in the book).
Atkins WILL cause health problems and WILL NOT make you lose weight if you cannot read, understand and heed the program.
