It is true that humans in the "past" were not as obese as they are now... but what did they eat? I am sure they did not eat loads of dairy products, fat meat, etc.

I find that most people who criticise Atkins do not in fact know anything much about the low carb approach.
There is plenty of research coming out of all the leading universities that backs the low carb approach.
When we remove carbs from our dinner plate we do not substitute with piles of meat and dairy products but double up on the vegetables. The extra fat that we need comes from foods such as nuts, avocado and olive oil.
