Thank you so much for cleaning up Isle 5 of my shooting from the hip on South Beach.. It clearly is much more that a knock-off and if I was thinking I would have made that point much clearer. My point was in saying it, it was ATKINS that I believe broke the mold on proteins. :)
Dr. Agatston knew and admired Dr. Atkin for fighting conventional wisdom successfully. Dr. A has a good chapter on the history of popular diets, and all the stupid mistakes that were made. (stupid is my word)He mentions how Dr. Atkins shocked all by doing the exact opposite of the low-fat gospel. Especially when it seemed to work better than the AHA low fat, high carb diet. LOL! He shook up the medical and nutritional establishments. Sounds good to me!! And you know --- what could the establishment say? Dr. Atkins wasn't a quack! He was a successful MD. himself. Wasn't it great when they had to eat crow and admit that Atkins was on to something!!
I hope the Bakery was in aisle 5! It needs shooting up! HeeHee!
