However, the positive slant should be good for low carbing in the UK, whatever is behind it.

As cynical as it may be, Demi, I was thinking more or less the same thing. After months of slamming Atkins and publishing articles about how harmful it is, now they enter into a partnership with Atkins Nutritionals and start promoting it?
Although it will probably be beneficial for getting the word out about low carbing (hopefully the correct way to do it), it just seems to me that the only reason they are doing this is because $$ talk and they're getting extra money from Atkins Nutritionals as well as a boost to their readership.
IMO, this comes across as very two-faced, though.  |
