So does this mean I can now eat a double bacon cheeseburger in good conscience? :)

I've known a lot of people who were careful about diet and exercise. A lot of them died young. And the ones who are still around have a lot of health problems.

I've known a lot of lazy, fat people who smoked and drank as they pleased. In general, these people have been happy and have lived a long time.

Example: My parents had dear friends who were fat smokers who had to stop going to museums (walking that much tired them out). My parents pitied them and used them as an object lesson for me. But, my parents died 10 and 20 years ago and of their two friends, one died this past August (age 84) and the other is still alive.

Carbs are fine if they have fiber in them, you won’t eat some much of them - therefore eliminating the ‘gorging’ on carbs. That’s how they are in nature. They also are unbleached.

Sounds like the UK version of Atkins. Wonder when that man will ever posthumously win the Nobel Prize in Medicine? He was a genius.

There are so many variables in individual people, mostly based on genetics, that it is difficult to make generalizations about diet. The old adage of “whatever works for you” is appropriate.

Yes, but make sure you get that death-enhancing lettuce out of there first.

I feel best with a steak in my belly, vegies, a salad and a glass of milk. Cereal and milk or graham crackers and milk for a snack.

TWO MEALS A DAY!!!!! Lunch and dinner and late snack.

Rarely drink soda or eat chips.

Made homemade pea soup yesterday. The ham was a fresh ham...ohhhhhh....sooooo tasty. Great soup!! I did good!!

P.S. Can't afford steak!!

Sounds like they’re prepping the RATS who will be on a steady diet of CROW in 24 hours.

I suspect that if you could dig down you would find that much of the current advice on what we should eat comes from radical animal rights advocates.

Minus the bun. Well, and probably minus the fake cheese.

I went on the Adkins diet and IT WORKS.

I went off of it and started gaining again.

It’s time for me to embrace steak and eggs again.

I did it for years, and as long as I stayed on it faithfully either lost or remained steady (and my doctor loved my HDL/LDL ratios. Unfortunately it gets extremely boring (at least it did for me) especially in our culture where you are constantly bombarded by the complete opposite.
