    ‘Atkins’ has been thoroughly debunked. People should know better by now.
    I was there for the start of that fad, and unfortunately for me, bought the bullshit.

      Just a personal anecdote, but an Atkins brand meal replacement shake I used to consume had many times the listed B2 levels, because my pee turned radioactive yellow. It said 25%RDI, but ain’t no way, it was more like 250% or more. I’ve never had that happen before, even when taking B2 supplements. It made me cautious what else is incorrect on the nutrition label and distrust the brand. Plus it’s probably not great for your kidneys long term.
