Right, maybe I wasn't too clear, but what is known generically as the "Atkins Diet" today is *not* what he originally planned. I can't say myself if his diet is good or not, but I didn't say that in my original post. I just said that he had stated at some point that people had misinterpreted his findings and developed some wacky "I just eat meat and cheese and hard-boiled egg" diet. Which, frankly, I'm willing to stipulate is not the best thing for you.
