| While I've seen people get very good results on atkins, I would not recommend it at this time. Atkins works by making radical changes in your metabolism, including liver functions. (as I understood it when my bf was doing the diet and reading the book). If you are at the point where your doctor is making noises that scarey about organ failure, I can't see taking that big a step while adding vitamin suplements, while changing your exercise habits to be a good idea. People who are in good health except for being overweight can do that sort of thing and do themselves some good, but I'd really recomend taking this one step at a time.
On limes... While you can get folic acid a lot of places, to MAY be that bioavailabilty is better in limes, or that they are free of some other vitamin that accompanies folate in other forms that he doesn't want you having. It just seems odd that someone would know that obscure a source of folic acid and not mention so many others, so look into it before assuming he just got stuck on some odd lime obsession. A doctor with no people skills is bad, but don't assume that just because he has no people skills he doesn't know what he's talking about.
