The only part of the Atkins diet that is extremely card restrictive is the 2 week Induction Stage, however the SBD is very similar in this respect. The Maintenance Stage allows for a wide variety of carbohydrates (obviously not refined though), including salads, legumes, nuts, berries and pasta (wholegrain). Many people think that the Atkins is a zero carb diet, this is a common misconception. As for eating bread and pasta in the SBD, yes you can, but it is generally discouraged.

They are extremely wrong. The South Beach diet is not in any way, shape, or form a low-carb diet. Yes, it is for the first two weeks so your body can adjust to the changes, but after that, it returns to just eating good carbs, like whole wheat grain bread, whole wheat pasta, and fruit. The Atkins diet doesn't allow this and starves your body of the fuel it needs (the carbs), while the SBD understands the bodies immediate need for these things.
