Physician who is the director of Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine. Since nutrition is not a required course in most US medical schools, the author has NO formal training in nutrition especially as it relates to medical weight loss treatments. Atkins provides misleading statements regarding the relationship between food metabolism and weight control. This author supports his statements with anecdotal case studies, not scientific research data. Additionally, Atkins has no evidence of the long-term impact of his diet on maintenance of weight loss and physical side effects of prolonged ketosis.
