Well the atkin thing is really not doing any good at all. Sure it will work for a short period of time.

Not consuming enough CHO will really decrease brain function, it will also cause a process called gluconeogenesis. It will break down lean muscle mass and use this as an energy source. Fat is a great source of calories or energy however you want to look at it. But you can't use fat as a substrate without CHO.
