Dr.S was Somers doctor, but the plans are very different. I believe that Somers recommends combining only certain foods, while Dr. S recommends having protein, fat, complex carbs and non-starchy veggies at each meal. I don't think there is much science to Somers plan.

I feel like crap on Atkins too after a while. There is a rush at first from the ketosis, but after that I just felt bogged down by meat. South Beach is a more modern form, as Atkins was written before anybody knew anything about saturated fats. I always feel like the diet I'm currently on is the best one though, so next year I may have found something better than the Schwarzbein Priniciple. Other than this one, I like South Beach. It's a good balance.
