Thought there might be some people out there interested in doing this. The registration takes only a few minutes... This was taken from a post in another forum ...

Controlled carbohydrate followers who are interested in participating in the study can simply log on to the CCARBS (The Controlled Carbohydrate Assessment Registry Bank Study) website at http://epi.aecom.yu.edu/studies/cca/HomePage.asp?studyID=2 , register, take the initial screening questionnaire and then follow instructions for participation.

Once accepted in the registry, CCARBS participants will receive, in addition to the satisfaction of contributing significantly to scientific knowledge about controlled carbohydrate diets, the following free services:

- Dietary analysis each time they complete questionnaires
- Access to a nutritionist to ask questions online
- Monthly newsletters on controlled carbohydrate topics and other health-related topics
- Controlled carbohydrate recipes

The first scientific tracking system designed to provide researchers with accurate data on controlled carbohydrate eating habits is now up and running on the Internet. The purpose of is to investigate long-term weight variations, eating patterns and lifestyles of Americans who follow a controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach. This will be the first time that any medical facility has undertaken this task, applying rigorous scientific and objective methods rather than just collecting anecdotal and random information.

CCARBS will address many of the ongoing and long-term questions posed by the growing role of controlled carbohydrate weight-loss diets in obesity and obesity-related disease management. The study will also function as a unique source of ongoing data for qualified investigators and journalists seeking to answer specific hypotheses and questions. CCARBS is the first database to provide an accurate assessment of the controlled carbohydrate lifestyle population in the United States.

The research is being independently conducted at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and has been made possible though an unrestricted grant from The Dr. Robert C. Atkins Foundation."

Even though it is primarily looking at US lifestyles, they invite persons from other countries to participate (which is what I am going to do) I guess it will give them a broarder study base..
