Out of all the "fad" diets, the GI one is probably the most sound, but it only addresses part of the story....Atkins is just self-abuse.
I could get SOOOOOO boring on this subject...there are a few key steps you can take that are pretty well foolproof if you have the commitment to see them through.
Most important thing is that everyone is different...the same principles will work for everyone, but have to be applied in ways that fit in with your individual lifestyle.
