I don't think you quite understand what you're talking about. The induction phase only lasts two weeks on the Atkins diet. Have you ever actually *read* it? In no way do they push staying in ketosis for longer than two weeks, unless the person is really really overweight. Furthermore, I think you also missed reading the link I posted. It states right away what nutrients feed muscle and how they make up for that. To go even further, the diet states that you should maintain a very gradual weight loss.

Please READ UP on the diets before you criticise them.

(Type II diabetics are commonly told by drs and nutritionists to keep their carbs around 120g-140g a day... the Atkins diet gets you there by gradually teaching you to understand how your body reacts to food.)
