Last year I had a bit of a scare after a night dive. I turned out not to be bent. But in the course of figuring that out the dive master spoke to a friend of his who runs a hyperbaric chamber and found out that there is evidence to suggest that there is a link between the Atkins diet and other low carb diets and decompression injuries. This is just anecdotal information. I've never seen it verified.
I stopped using the Atkins diet after the incident and since then my weight has spiraled out of control. I want to go back to a low carb diet until I lose the wieght I put on since last September. Do you know if it is safe to dive while on a low carb diet? Has anyone else on the board done any diving while on a low carb diet without incident?
