Andy, I think you'd just get lots of extra fat from the meats that will get stored as fat because your body is running on the carbs you take in.
Meaning you'd put on mass and gain weight.
At least that's how I understand it.
You have to eliminate carbs, or severely restrict them for your body to start using your fat stores, then you can run on that for a long time.
That's a wildly pared down explanation of what Atkins does.
