Atkins in the news - AGAIN
So there was some news today saying the Atkins nutritional is backtracking and now saying that followers of the Atkins plan should limit their intake of saturated fats. Here's what's posted on the Atkins website about this new press:

thanks star! when i heard the commercial blibs about this being on the news, i decided to completely ignore it. i did not believe it would be true anyway, as i feel i've read enough about all of this (not just atkins books, but many others too) and i do not eat an all red meat diet anyway.
in fact, since starting atkins, i eat a far more BALANCED diet and more variety than i ever did before! to keep it from getting boring, i have added more fish and fowl, and haven't eaten this many different veggies since i was a vegetarian. so there is no doubt this plan has made me healthier than i was eating all those darned processed carbs!! the carbs just ended up taking over most of my diet and i couldn't keep them under control because of how fast they digest and left me starving for something more. i was always looking for that quick "fix" like a drug addict. i don't necessarily believe that there is one-size-fits-all diet, and i wish the atkins attackers would just knock their bashing off and just be happy with whatever they personally believe. but i guess that's the way it is with so many humans, they just can't stand there being more than "their way" out there. i am seeing a lot more acceptance, though, now that dr atkins has died. and i can see that it will continue growing at an awesome pace. i don't think it will take that many more years before the "low-fat" diet is a thing of the past, since so many of got *obese* on it. (i, for one.) |
I just got an email from the Atkins people about this:

I am in the UK and this WOE has really bad press, some people almost treat me like i have an eating disorder if they find out i'm eating this way!!! We all tend to do it behind closed doors - it's like a secret club :lol: :lol: Hubby has now joined me and has lost 15lbs+ and looks fantastic...we are healthier now than we've ever been! All hail Dr Atkins!! :) |
Thats all right, any publicity is good publicity. That's why we're getting so many good low carb products coming out (and some not so good ones too).
Looking forward to that LowCarb Heinz Ketchup, cant afford the Keto stuff anymore... |
I'm soooooooo glad its not true, the media stinks, they will go to no length to try to destroy something good. Makes you wonder if they really want us to be healthy.
I personally have been trying to watch my saturated fats, but thats me, its a personal choice b/c I have increased my carbs (with veggies). But again, I am striving to eat leaner meats by choosing ckn, fish, etc. YEAH ATKINS !!!!! |
