I would be curious to see if any of Anthony's book is gleaned from Ellington Darden, Ph.D.'s work. See his website www.drdarden.com and check Amazon for the over 2 dozen books he's authored. Much information on his website as well. Hi Dr. Eades,

“Colpo” in Italian means a hit, a blow or a strike or similar action.

He does have some admirable talents, his book "The cholesterol Con" was well researched, his original site "omnivore" site was good if a little over the top. Somewhere he has "lost the plot" and is now beyond reason. Don’t bother dealing with AC. He does have some admirable talents,

Somewhere he has “lost the plot” and is now beyond reason.

This guy is crazy. It's so obvious he's trying to promote his book because he mentions it in almost every other sentance on everything he types about. Don't let him shamelessly promote his book by disguising it as a "debate". I'd never even heard of this guy until reading about him on your blog. Love all your articles Dr. Mike! Keep up the good work! <em>Thanks, Angie.</em> I vote no. This guy is crazy.

Yeah, I used to read his Omnivore blogs, but after he started flip-flopping - yeah I remember how he went into great detail about how switching from a low fat to low carb diet practically saved his health, then one day he found the glory of reduced calorie diets again...("it's only calories that really count"....)... doc, don't waste your time. I think he's scary with true sociopathic, narcissistic tendencies. I've been watching enough Forensics shows and court tv and Law and Order Criminal Intent, to recognize another perp when I see one. He's turned into one scary dude. Please doc, don’t waste your energy.

I'm not complaining that I've lost 30 lbs since Feb. '06, and once it's lost, the weight stays off, but I've about 20 more I'd like to lose, and your explanation helped me understand why it's not coming off readily. Now I have no excuse for not creating that caloric deficit! I read AC's Great Cholesterol Con, by the way, and while I appreciated his passion for the subject and the amount of time he put into gathering studies, the writing was definitely that of an amateur who needed the help of an editor.

In the begining he was all for Atkins until he took on the metabolic advantage of low carb stuff in Atkins book & he totally went nuts about it. I could see where he was coming from though as he was talking about low carbing & muscle building quite a different thing from us mere mortals who don't give a fig for being ripped & carring around a six pack or in Anthony's case a seriously great slab!! really fit bodies for me any way are great to look at but hey I don't want one. His beef with Dr Atkins while he was still with us was that he wasn't trim taut & terrific so what would he know. I did try to tell Anthony that some of us don't care about ripped bodies other than as eye candy but he seems to think it equates with good health so if you aren't all brimming with fantastic muscle structure then you aren't healthy! He just could see that some of us just don't want to look like that but are still interested in the other health benefits low carb bestowes upon us - low blood pressure, no diabetic conditions, improved heath markers for not contracting cancer etc. Oh well if you feel like giving us more information on the whole thing then please do so but do it for the information's sake & not to debunk or prove Anthony wrong as that sort of slanging match just makes all of us a bit tired & probably much less informed if we just stick to the facts! cheers & thanks for your dedication to the health of us all.
