Other than the carb factor, what's the difference between Atkin's and the South Beach diet? South Beach doesn't allow all the saturated fats that Atkins allows, and on SB we don't count carbs or anything else (except 75 cal/d of sweets), we just eat from the allowed lists, which include good fats (olive oil, nuts, etc), good carbs (whole grain products and cereals, most fruits, and tons of veggies), low sugar dairy products, and low fat protein. The first two weeks carbs are more limited to rid you of your cravings for sweets and starches, and it really does work. Then you add back in good carbs gradually. I'll let someone else answer the ketosis question, I don't have the technical info in front of me. If you want some websites let me know rain, i can email them to you.
