Sun Tzu ,
Regarding the "pseudo science"; I have seen statements claiming that the Atkins diet is based on pseudo science. In the same statement it was claimed that doing Atkins will make you fat, heighten your cholesterol levels and might eventually kill you. There was not a shred of documentation for this, not even a link to some. ..that makes the above claims pseudo science.
My uric acid levels has gone up a bit to, while doing the diet. I consulted the book when i discovered this and got a referral to another book by Atkins about nutritional supplements. Nutritional supplements are an important part of the diet.
A large daily intake of water, makes a big difference in general well being. At least that is what i have found
