This is no different to say doing a soup diet and other actual 'extreme' diets (which atkins is not!) because they are soo low calorie. This is what people have been doing for years and just end up fatter and fatter as a result because they are yo yo'ing.
Of course some may do well and even find a balance on their own so they can maintain it for the rests of their lives but the problem is that the majority do not because they do not learn how to eat long term, they do not fix their issues that got them fat in the first place etc and because they dieted so severly they have totally wrecked their metabolisms, losing a bunch of important muscle mass in the process resulting in even more weight gain and weight thats harder to shift.
Even in Atkins some people yoyo because they just think of it as a temporary fix but not only that they do it extremely and use the satiating effect to get away with eating stuff all fat and calories which in the long term catches up with them.
Dare I say it but Atkins induction isn't for everyone either BUT we all can learn something from Atkins/low carb in regards to health and weight loss and we can all benefit from one of the stages of atkins and we can learn how to make it a life style!
One of the things I hate the most out of all diets is extremely low calorie ketogenic diets, thats just plain nuts in my opinion and thats exactly what TF is.
