>The “Atkins Physician Council” also claims that one’s body expends more energy burning fat and thus “You wouldn’t have to increase your exercise at all because your body would be working harder, so that you could literally sit in your armchair and lose weight.”[107] As the Secretary of the AMA’s Council on Food and Nutrition tried to make clear, “The whole [Atkins] diet is so replete with errors woven together that it makes the regimen sound mysterious and magical.”[108]

>These claims sounded so far-fetched that as part of an investigative documentary, the BBC paid obesity researchers to design an experiment to test it. So researchers took two identical twins and put one on the Atkins Diet for a while, the other on a high carbohydrate diet and locked them both in sealed chambers to measure exactly where the calories were going. Did the twin on the Atkins Diet have any sort of metabolic “advantage” by burning fat and protein as his source of fuel? Was he literally flushing more calories down the toilet? Of course not. “We found no difference whatsoever,” the researcher said.[109]
