It's not that you never eat carbs, you just eat them in a much lower ratio to protein. For instance, I eat vegies, but try to limit those that tend to have higher carbs, such as carrots.
I'm not Tim, but I can attest to the fact that I also lowered my cholesterol when I started the Atkins regime over 6 years ago. In fact, I reaped other benefits as well, such as losing some stomach fat that was bugging me, having more energy, etc.
Once you understand the principles of low carb eating it is not "the end of the world" and one could easily eat this way for a lifetime. After awhile of eating this way you learn when you can add more carbs and when you must be more restrictive. For me, restricting sugar and flour products is well worth it for the health benefits I have derived.
