I have read it, several times... along w/ Sugar Busters, Dr. Schwarzbein's, the Diet Revolution, Suzanne Sommers (against my better judgement HAHAHa), Thin Tastes Better, and just about every new diet book by someone claiming to be an expert that comes out.
In fact, the first two weeks of the Atkins diet is the most dangerous. Strictly following those guidelines is what causes a body to release it's ketones. People who are on the diet for years can develop kidney and liver dysfunction.
The funny thing about what you said is that he's been promoting it since before we were born... does that mean it's good??? There have been quite a few medical advances and discovery since Dr. Atkins originally started publishing.
Like I said, yes, the diet makes you lose weight but at what cost... and as a final note.... the ONLY ONLY ONLY way to keep weight off is a healthy, BALANCED diet and EXERCISE.
