Nov. 3rd, 2003 05:55 pmI'm looking for evidence that the Atkins Diet is bad for you.
By which i don't mean that "eating just meat and nothing else" is bad for you (well, duh), but that following the actual Atkins diet itself will cause you damage, or long-term health problems.
Oh, and by evidence, I mean actual evidence - a medical study or something vaguely similar, not just someone complaining that it doesn't follow the food pyramid or somesuch.
Honestly, if anyone knows of such a thing, I'd like to see it, just so that I have some idea that it's out there. I haven't been able to find anything along those lines, but I don't want to take the chance that I've just missed it.
