They are hard core Vegetarians. I just found out I am diabetic and was told I could control it with diet and not medicine. The nutritionist gave me a diet that was alot like the Atkins. Carbos are even deadlier to diabetics than sugar. I have been on this diet for 3 weeks and I have more energy and feel so much better than I ever felt before. Theses people are like the walking dead!

"Carbos are even deadlier to diabetics than sugar"

What is the difference between a "carbo" and a sugar?
A sugar is a carbohydrate!!

A lot of sick people go on special diets (for example, people with COPD - emphysema - are often put on very high fat diets) - it doesn't mean they are healthy!!! They are ways from keeping a problem from becoming fatal.

One of the leading causes of death among the elderly is bone fractures. The more protein you eat, the more calcium you excrete, leading to such problems. The diet may be fine now, but these issues will surface in time, and like all the litigious folk suing fast food companies, expect to see lots of lawsuits targeting Atkins.
