i stumbled upon another weight loss forum who were all avid carb cutters,,,to the point of 40 grams of carbs or less per day..yeah they were atkins faithfull, however they claim he has a new diet and cleaned up the old ways a bit..i still think 40 grams is too low myself but anyway im pretty sure you said there was an article on the net somewhere about Atkins being in jail was that correct or was i dreaming ??..if u have the link could u please share: they are giving me a pasting for not being a carb cutter lol

I never heard about him being in jail :-) I think someone on this board mentioned that he had a heart attack....

Also, I don't think his diet plan ever changed: he still sells the same book.... Here are some articles from reputable sources about the dangers of Atkins diet:

I think Atkins diets and all his health mumbojumbo is worng and if he isnt behind bars he should be. His ideas of weight loss are dangerous. With amount of food you and and all his diff. levels of carbs and fats and all that stuff.
