First off, congrats, and I only hope to match your success over the next year. I gave up for a bit, but am really, REALLY going to try now.

Atkins is no different, do you plan on eating ONLY meat for the rest of your life? If not, then you'll just gain all that weight back when you go back to your old eating habits.
Lot's of exercise and cutting junk food out is all you need, fuck diets.

1. Obviously you don't know what atkins truly is about, which is finding a level of carbs that you can eat while maintaining a sort of equilibrium in your body. You only cut a ton of carbs the first few weeks, or induction as they call it. Not that I like atkins, I just can't believe that eating a ton of fat wont have long term effects on your heart conditions, and your main source of energy for your brain comes from carbs.
2. Don't contradict yourself. Cutting out junk food for some people is a diet, as thats what they mostly eat. I think you mean fuck diets that you have to follow to the tee, but even a man that eats fast food every day is on a diet. Not a healthy one, mind you =)
3. Third, as much as I don't like atkins, im sure people are reading this that are trying atkins, and you certainly arent helping them by saying their attempts are useless. Just think about that. Its easy to say, but when you've spent your entire life eating something, or eating a lot, its close to impossible to just say, im going to change, and change it. It takes time, and gradual cutting out of things. I have lots of experience on this, so don't try me. I've already cut pop, fast food and pizza out, and don't even crave them anymore (well, most the time). I've also started exercising.
4. Atkins has obviously worked for people who couldn't do what you suggest. Who are you to talk down to them, even if you didn't intend to?
