Can someone please show me a site about the atkin's diet?

Found it, before the eskimoes diets changed and they started eating more like everyone else in the world, they got the daily need of vitamin C from raw fish, which apparently is rich in Ascorbic acid...

Any side effects WRT sense of temperature and/or people's metabolism dropping to the point it no longer can maintain body temp?

A lot of people around here think 83F is "freezing" and wear 4+ turtleneck sweaters & gloves and claim their hands/feet are going numb in room at that temp since the Atkins craze took over.

It's well known that the T4-T3 conversion factor will decrease when you go on ANY sub maintnance diet, not just the Atkins diet... This means that you will have more T4 (non-active Thyroid hormone) and less T3 (active) so your body tempereature will drop to decrease energy expenditure...

There are two ways to avoid this, cycling diets (going from below maintnance to maintnance in 6 weeks) or taking some kind of thyroid medication, the latter would mean seeing a doctor (who will tell you to increase calorie intake) or getting it illegaly...
