Lettie, You have been misinformed again!! Please advise your Doc friend on the following:

"Controversial US diet guru Dr Robert Atkins has died, aged 72, a week after he injured his head in a fall.
Dr Atkins died at New York's Weill-Cornell Medical Center and was surrounded by his wife and close friends, said Richard Rothstein, his spokesman.

He had suffered a severe head injury on 8 April after falling on an icy pavement while walking to his office in New York.

The doctor shot to fame in the early 1970s with his Atkins diet, a low-carbohydrate, high-protein eating regime.

Followers of the Atkins diet are allowed to eat unlimited meat, eggs, fish and shellfish.

But they can only eat small amounts of carbohydrates, such as bread, potatoes and pasta. "

I am not a fan of the diet but think it is wrong if people are putting incorrect information about....... (not you personally Lettie)
