I don't really think Bernstein's method is a diet since the purpose for most people isn't to lose weight. The purpose is to just avoid carbs that cause the BG to rise. You still get calories and some carbs so you aren't in constant ketosis. Whereas Atkins is actually a diet where you are to avoid as many carbs and calories as possible to lose weight.
