Stanford's Atkins Diet Study

I was just watching the News and there was a study done at Stanford on the Atkins diet, saying that it may be one of the best diets although it is the most controversial.

I heard a few things that didn't seem quite right though.

One of which was that they stated that a lot of the weight lost was water weight. I'm not sure if they were thinking that is a good thing? I'm hoping that the leaders of the study knew more about nutrition and that the mistakes were by the news people.

Also, they mentioned that other people were put on different diets to compare - the problem I see here is the varying levels of dedication to the diet.
