Robert Coleman Atkins, MD

His last edition is from 2002.

Yes, he was certainly alive in 2002, wrote that book,
which in addition to being his last, is the newest
one available from Dr. Atkins and the reversal diet is not in it.
I guess I should have said "not in the last books he
wrote...", but I think everyone here but Billy knows
what I meant.



*There is since an edition by the staff
of the Atkins Center. *Neither edition mentions either fat fast or
reversal diet.

Wrong. I have the 2002 edition right in front of me and the
fat fast is in there.

*Why not is a matter of speculation. *My speculations are
that people abused the fat fast so he removed it and he was getting
hammered over "no" carb so he removed the only reference to it that
appeared in his book.

He did not remove it. Just shows that here
we go again, with you making claims about Atkins that are
wrong, then going off on speculation that starts out with a
faulty premise.



Compare when the first edition of South Beach Diet was published against
the last edition of DANDR. *Maybe he was depicting his plan as milder
because of the competition not because of the detractors. *It's not hard
to come up with several other potential reasons other than my preferred
ones in the previous paragraph.

I can see reversing and increasing carbs leading to
people having cravings return and in the end, possibly doing more
harm than good. *If it worked so well, you'd think it would have
made it to his later editions, as he kept improving the methods.

That and/or his later editions were aimed at other topics. *One
complaint about his early editions is they were poorly worded. *Another
was that they covered too many eventualities. *Combine those two
complaints and it's easy to get to the point that readers had a hard
time telling when to use any one point in the book. *Dropping the rarely
used tactics makes sense in that case but it certainly is not the only
possible explanation.
