Comment on Diet is a Four Letter Word by LesterBaskin

Not sure what part of the blog you disagreed with. I do agree with you that the “new” Atkins is less restrictive. However, simply referencing their menu options (you have to register first) shows that their plan still restricts carbs. When I requested a menu plan, what appeared on screen did not have a single source of whole grains in it — which suggests that Atkins, like all other diets, basically restricts choice and in doing so reduces caloric intake.

As for being lied to — the reference to Fat Head (the movie) is welcome but it’s as much propaganda as Super Size me. The one point I agree with on their website is that saturated fat is not bad for you. But it is fattening, so should be consumed in moderation. The obesity epidemic is clear and unambiguous — it’s a condition that is easy to identify (BMI > 30) and measure, so there’s not much room for the gov’t to “lie” here. And since most stats are collected at the state level, it would require a pretty massive conspiracy to involve the data reporting of all 50 states.

Try judicious addition of fat — a little butter on your veg, or nuts as a midday snack. And nothing wrong with other forms of starch as long as in whole grain form (brown rice, for example). Good luck!

great timing on this article – I’ve been on a strict diet for the past week: no wheat/gluten, most dairy, caffeine, or sugar in any form, including beer/wine. Which means I’m basically down to meat and vegatables. So I’m losing that belly I picked up between Thanksgiving and NYrs, but I can’t finish my workout routine anymore, too tired. Not sure if that’s a win.

I disagree and will be glad to share my findings.
Re: Adkins, you should research it before you comment, especially the most current version. CHO are controlled not eliminated. Typically whole vegetables are not significantly restricted except starchy (glycemic) vegetables.
We have been lied to and misled by the CDC, the ADA, AHA, USDA & Congressmen.

I agree on so many levels. Well written, personable and reiterates that healthcare is often more art than science because each person is an individual with seemingly infinite variables.

I think I would be ineligible for the prize….
