| On the subject of the Atkins diet:
No one whose posted in this thread has shown that they've graduated from Med. School and are a licensed, practicing physician. So let's all stop practicing medicine, shall we?
The fact of the matter is that Atkins is controversial. Reasonable doctors can and do disagree. So let's everyone drop our fanatical attitudes toward it both for and against.
Max, I'll repeat what I said before. You should get your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist so you can consult with someone who knows what they're talking about and can look at your health and your needs. You can ask your nutritionist if he or she thinks that Atkins would be a good idea in your case or whether some other kind of diet would be more appropriate.
While ENWorld is a good place to get feedback and information from your peers, it's really not suited to medical advice, as I'm sure you're aware. Talk with a doctor and get some solid information. But please come back and keep us updated on how your apnea treatment is going. We'd all love to hear from you.
