No, I'm not. The people running Atkins are now in the business of marketing. The good doctor wrote and revised his plan over a period of 30+ years using knowledge gained in his medical practice.

After reading the article about how the Atkins people are now changing the things they are saying go back and read DANDR. Dr. Atkins clearly stated to eat until satisfied - not stuff your face with steak. He also gave guidelines for estimating the size of a serving of protien. Also remember that the Atkins people are now marketing low carb frankenfoods as suitable for induction instead of stressing doing a clean induction with whole natural foods.

They should be ashamed of themselves. All they are trying to do is grab more of the market share of dieters without taking into consideration the health benefits of following the Atkins eating plan as written by Dr. Atkins. Yes, Dr. Atkins did make some low carb items available, but did not advertise them as suitable for induction. They were simply items like the baking mix that were suitable for ongoing weight loss.
