See Jimmy Moore: http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/?page_id=2464 and there are a lot more examples. Myself, I have gone down from 290 pounds to 225 low-carbing, and I am still losing weight.

Also, Atkins is just one type of low-carb diet, and a rather strict one at that. It is because of how strict it is that people tend to fail a little ways in

Isn't low-carb just a mechnism for creating a low-calorie diet though?

No, it's not. Low calorie diets don't tend to create ketosis and if you start eating too few calories on Atkins, you will stop losing weight. (I speak from experience. Had to make myself eat more. Funny, huh?)
