I can see that Atkins proponents start to learn from the mainstream
nutrition experts how to deal with the crisis situations.

I can tell from my experience with low carbing that heart problems
(arrhythmia, increased/decreased pulse rate) are very easily induced by
improper diet.
Atkins diet not giving people general guidelines how much fat/protein should
they eat can be simply dangerous. And blaming bulimia for the death of this
teen is like blaming sat fats for heart attacks.
