Anyone who is on the atkins diet is an idiot. I would almost go so far as to say that anyone who buys a diet book and reads it is an idiot.

You know I generally like your advice but this is by far the stupidest thing I've ever seen you post and one of the stupider things I've seen at 2+2 and that is saying something.

Have you not seen the results of the latest research studies showing the advantages of a low-carb diet? You should check them out before spouting off on an area where it doesn't appear you are an expert.

Secondly, there are diet books and there are diet books. I think you are referring to the 'fad' diet books that have little basis in science, however, there is a whole 'nother world of diet books out there that you've apparently not been exposed to which outline sensible, scientifically-supported approaches to dieting.
