The Atkins diet goes over well in North America because the standard North American diet just happens to be rich on fat, rich on protein, and short on carbs : Going on the Atkins diet is basically saying "Eat what you eat, just be cognizant of it".

Did you even read the article?
Yea, I know, 9 pages, too much, but you could simply realize that the above is false blatantly false. There are tons of carbs in the American diet, and the increase in carbs since the 80s correlates with the increase in obesity, even though fat intake has decreased.
