Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Low Carb Diets and Gout
In a response to a TV episode on the show Royal Pains, I analyze the claims that a high fat diet will necessarily lead to the pain associated with gout and gout attacks. The conventional wisdom seems often analogous to popular, but wrong cholesterol theorem that dietary cholesterol leads to increased cholesterol in the blood. Is the popular theory right?

Atkins Diet and Cholesterol: Facts and myths
In this video, I deal with another one of the myths that Atkins Diet increases one's cholesterol level due to its saturated fats. This misconception has been proven false over and over in many different studies. At very least, here is my anecdotal evidence.

Atkins Diet Misconceptions: High Protein or High Fat Diet?
This is the second in Atkins Diet misconceptions or myths series, and in this video I deal with the thought this is a high protein diet. Just check out google for "Atkins Diet" and "high protein," and you'll see how prevalent this misconception is.

Why you got fat
For decades we've been told gaining and losing weight is all about the calories. Just one little problem: the research says otherwise. Diabetics undergo dramatic weight changes when they adjust their insulin levels -- and so do you.
