Nutritionist Colette Heimowitz, M.S., director of education and research at Atkins Health & Medical Information Services, and Jacqueline Eberstein, R.N., director of medical education of The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine, pored over every word to ensure the accuracy of the nutritional information. Nutritionists Valerie Berkowitz, M.S., R.D., C.D.E., and Eva Katz, M.P.H., R.D., reviewed scientific studies to make sure our references are in tip-top shape. Food scientist and vice president for product development at Atkins Nutritionals Matt Spolar patiently clarified the intricacies of food science. Freelance writers Sheila Buff and Lynn Prowitt-Smith contributed their literary talents to collaborate on portions of the copy. Atkins staffer Rebecca Freedman searched far and wide to find an interesting array of Atkins followers who wanted to share their stories and worked with writers Catherine Censor, Janet Blake, and Mary Selover to craft the case studies.
