I think the best diet depends on your level of insulin resistance. I think there are good points to all the diets, but they each emphasize different strategies and different ratios of carbs. For instance, I could never do CAD as my blood sugar spikes too easily from unrestricted carbs, even if I reserved them all for one meal and ate lots of protein and fat. For me, Atkins is the way to go right now because I need to regulate carb intake very carefully or I can get severe hypoglycemia if I stray from a stringent carb intake.
