Atkins diet? help me get off of it?

Think about the long-term effects of such a diet. As a veggie, I leapt up and cheered when Horizon (UK TV doentary) debunked Atkins - you lose weight because the excess protein satisfies the hunger trigger in the brain, but is not a diet on which to live because the lack of veg means you don't get the anti-oxidants that are what help us live longer. Yes, it's like the cave-man diet (or whatever), but they only lived to 40, not the 70+ that we easily achieve these days.
