The no carbs rule is really silly esp when you are exercising, you need your energy from something - just eat the right type of carbs. I recommend you look at Patrick Holford's GL eating plan - I think this is probably a near perfect diet - you get all the nutrition you need, you eat 5 times a day which is good and you have a balance - it can be a bit daunting to get your head around, but it is easy when you get going.
I tried the Atkins once and it made me so ill I had three weeks off work - all that protein makes your liver work so hard that it is exhausting - don't do it!
