The solution is not to cut out carbs. It's to reduce them. Try and find a credible nutritionist who still goes for it...oh wait that's right...you don't trust nutritionists.

An article on your brilliant Dr. Atkins:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/02/10/atkins.widow.ap/

"Dr. Robert Atkins, whose popular diet stresses protein-rich meat and cheese over carbohydrates, weighed 258 pounds at his death and had a history of heart disease, a newspaper reported Tuesday."
