...Wall Street Journal, where dot.coms flock to woo potential investors, ad revenues jumped 32% in the third quarter. And it's not just industry chroniclers like Business Week and Fast Company that are enjoying the windfall. Periodicals from the Austin American-Statesman to Successful Farming are also getting fat...
...diet is more than a fad. In fact, it's more than a diet--when skinny people are on it. Yet there they are, jogging into Noah's Bagels in Santa Monica, Calif., proudly ordering bagels with the innards scooped out, disposed like toxic waste and replaced with full-fat cream cheese. In Chicago restaurants, the unpaunched are gorging on porterhouse steaks but banishing the baked potato back to Idaho. And Jennifer Aniston has been publicly chastised by her former trainer, who thinks Aniston's low-carb, high-protein diet is too extreme. When even the scrawniest cast members from...
What's happening is a boom in low-carb diets, the weight-loss schemes that allow you to eat all the protein you want--steak, eggs, even fatty bacon--so long as you cut way down on carbohydrates like bread, pasta and soda.

The weight-beleaguered Cathy confronted the low-carb diet craze in her comic strip last week, uncharacteristically stifling...
...American Dietetic Association, and even though the organization hadn't scheduled any Atkins talk for its seminars, it blasted low-carb diets as "a nightmare." JoAnn Hattner, a clinical nutritionist at the UCSF Stanford University Medical Center who attended the conference, worries about the high levels of protein and fat in many of these diets, as well as their lack of fiber. "Removing fiber causes constipation, fluid dehydration, weakness and nausea. It's a great strain on the kidneys," she says. Keith Ayoob, a professor of nutrition at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, warns about other...
