South Beach diet is neither low fat nor low carb; it is selective fat and selective carb.
Yeah. My bad! It's sort of low carb & sort of low fat. Doesn't look like an unreasonable approach.

Atkins diet probably makes doctors wince because of the stereotype of people eating pork rinds and whipped cream and no vegetables or something like that, rather than healthier protein and fat sources with lots of vegetables.
Which was always a straw man argument in the first place. I have the latest version of the Atkins diet book (which is quite good) and there is no recommendation to eat pork rinds or whipped cream or skip veggies.
