Hi Josie,

I would start challenging them in return! Because, as Lisa points out there has never been any evidence of damage done to anybody ever by low carbing.

When the naysayers "attack" me, I tell them that many people criticize Atkins et al, but no one has yet come up with any actual scientific evidence of harm.

You could also mention that ketogenic diets have been used in the past (and are now again) to control epilepsy in children. Again, there has never been any evidence that these children were anything but healthy.

HTH!
