I don't have any studies offhand to quote you, my sister is the registered dietician, not me, but: meat-heavy/Atkins diets have a place - they're for the morbidly obese that have tried and failed more traditional weight loss measures. When your immediate risk of dying due to your weight is significant, Atkins is a relative win. If you aren't morbidly obese in the here and now, the long term effects of not getting plant matter are more detrimental than a little chub. Now, if what you want to feel is awesome since you're young and fit and now is the time? Sorry to break it to you since I've done it myself and quit my good habit - you gotta excercise. 30 minutes aerobic in the AM, 30 minutes weight sets in the evening. Because nothing makes you feel awesome like being ripped and not getting winded. It's stupid how much more positive your first impression interactions get when you look better too, so there's that.
