Eating only protein is not Atkins. And sustaining weight loss on high protein only won't help you with any long term goal.

Eating habits are developed over a lifetime and many of us developed poor eating habits, thus the problems with being overweight. Dr. Atkins (DANDR, 2002) prescribes a way of eating for life.

Over time, pure protein may cause you more problems than just constipation.
