Fast weight loss is not good for anyone's health. It might make them feel better, which is great....but long term it can do serious harm. Really the goal in life should not be wieght loss, rather body fat loss. The easiest way to lose weight is to lose muscle, which is what happens most in the Atkins diet.
Most fitness instructors will tell people not to weight themselves more than once a month (yep that is right). They say if you want to measure progress use a tape measure around problem areas (most likely waist). You can weight 250 lbs and be 10% body fat. Who would care that you are 250? That is what people should really target and not get tricked by fads. We will see where all of these people are in 5 years who are losing weight with the Atkins....most likely on the Atkins again killibg more of their muscle.
