In my view interesting and thorough... if a little hyped.

In particular it is misleading to suggest that this way of eating was a new discovery by Dr Atkins and that we don't know the long term effects of eating diets high in Fat and Protein, low in Carbs -- indeed there are traditional communities that ate this way for thousands of years, and my Mother could have told you that in order to lose weight you cut out the bread and potatoes -- arguably there has been even less research and certainly less history for a diet low in Fat and high in Carbs (mostly refined/concentrated as on offer in our food stores these days) but I'd suggest you only need to look all around you to see the obvious effects of such a dietary "experiment" on our health and waistlines.
