Dr. Atkins has returned from the dead, so to speak, to sack Krispy Kreme.

The doughnut maker has lowered its profit projections because sales are down, and the company has placed part of the blame on the low-carb diet trend.

Fortunately for the rest of us, Krispy Kremes are allowed on every other diet that we know of.

So next time you're shopping, grab a dozen or two of your favorite bakery delight and a case of your favorite beverage. Cold beer and doughnuts? Yum.

Yum.
