I know that those who go on this diet take in large amounts of bacon, cheese, etc
One of the ladies that work with me, was on the Atkins diet for a few weeks, her breath really smelt foul ..

If her breath smelt then she was obviously not drinking the recommend minimum of 2 litres of water a day.
Nothing wrong with bacon and eggs for breakfast. All the papers yesterday were full of stories about how unhealthy most breakfast cereal are and how they are contributing to obesity.
The Atkins book very clearly limits the amount of cheese consumed each day.
None of the low carb plans state that one can eat unlimited amounts of meat. One is told to eat a satisfying amount.
The press likes to depict low carb dieters as gorging on meat but that does not suddenly make it true.
