A couple of paragraphs (not the whole article):

After advising dieters for years to satisfy their hunger with liberal
amounts of steak, eggs and other saturated fats, the promoters of the Atkins
diet now say that people on their plan should limit the amount of red meat
and saturated fat they eat.

Responding to years of criticism from scientists that the Atkins version of
a low-carbohydrate, high-fat regimen might lead to heart disease and other
health problems, director of research and education for Atkins Nutritionals,
Colette Heimowitz, is telling health professionals in seminars around the
country that only 20 per cent of a dieter's kilojoules should come from
saturated fat. Atkins Nutritionals was set up by Robert Atkins to sell
Atkins products and promote the diet.

An Atkins spokesman said Ms Heimowitz has been giving these seminars for
five years, and that they did not represent a departure from the original
premise of the diet.
