Oh please!


This report was all over TV this morning… http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25708495/ Low carb diets like Atkins beat healthier low fat or Mediterranean-style diets in a weight-loss study that lasted 2 years. What they don’t want to talk about is that Atkins people lost an average of 12 pounds, Mediterranean-style diet eaters lost an average of 10 pounds. Only a 2 pound difference. Let’s see….. I can eat a slab of bacon for breakfast -OR- I can eat my normal bowl of fruit, bowl of “natural” cereal, and low-fat yogurt. Hmmm… I just realized the people on Atkins lost more weight because they probably vomited up their breakfasts! Sorry. Nobody can take away my pasta, bread, or fruit! AND…. no matter HOW they try, they will NEVER convince me eating an Atkins style diet is good for me!
