Duh. Dr. Atkins knew this years ago. I’ve been eating low carbs for 11 years. My diet includes butter, cheese, meat, bacon, eggs, steak and I lost 20 lbs and lowered my cholesterol.

People forget the food pyramid with a carbohydrate base was a political creation by McGovern during the Carter years. There was no peer review. Within a decade Metabolic Syndrome and insulin resistance began to become epidemic.

The Atkins Diet also does amazing things to triglyceride levels. I had a lifetime (even during my most athletic years) of very high 600 to 800 levels. Within two weeks on Atkins my levels dropped to 60 and stayed there as long as I remained on very low carbohydrates.

The dietary guidelines were the most horrific act of malpractice ever committed against the American people. Liberal reality kills and causes needless suffering every time it is forced on people.
