...against all "diets" that are perverse and against nature.

I'm with you on this, all things in moderation. It's amazing how many Freepers who won't be fooled by Democrat demagoguery will jump on the bandwagon for this fad diet.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that in three years, "Atkins" will be as passe as Pokemon and Ricky Martin are today.

"It's amazing how many Freepers who won't be fooled by Democrat demagoguery will jump on the bandwagon for this fad diet."

Exactly. And defend it to the death! (Atkins Freeper: "Yeah, but my waistline doesn't lie!" / Freeper In His Right Mind: "You'll make a beautiful corpse.")

I doubt that Atkins will be passe in three years as you state. Afterall, it's been around since the mid-70's, when Atkins published his first book.

I wish that "eating all things in moderation" worked for me, but I cannot lose weight or maintain my weight by eating more than 20 grams of carbohydrate a day. Even with what used to be "excessive" exercise, I couldn't maintain my weight without watching carbs.

If it works - or whatever works for you, fine. But, please, don't sneer at us who have found that this is the only way we can stay healthy and normal weight.
