Atkins Nutrional is filing for bankruptcy protection because it is currently $300 million in the red. I guess the craze that his produced stickers on hamburger that it is naturally low on carbs is finally dwindling. Maybe if we are lucky all that bull about the South Beach or whatever diet craze will pass as well. Now Dr. Phil's weightloss solution is guaranteed to get the media attention it truly deserves.

The future business plan of Atkins appears to be murky, but they are planning to slim down by only selling shakes and bars to those who are supposed to lose weight by eating only those bars. Qu? lastima.
