Yes, and if it says it in the Times, it must be so.
Doesn't that just sear you? Atkins works, but it is trashed until the NYT touts it.
I want to see the lawsuits.
Try this book by Drs. Richard F. and Rachel F. Heller; The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program
It's not severe like Atkins, and does utilize complex carbs. It also includes recipies for good tasting meals.
If you would not consider eating a cup of wheat flour right out of bag, the American high carb diet equally makes no sense. It's such a flavorless (and sticky) "food".
Bleached wheat flour also is alleged to contribute to colonic cancer.
I have no idea when "Housecall" is on, but I will find out and try to check out this program today. Thanks for the heads up!
I lost a lot of weight eating a lot of fresh fruit and veggies, but to stay satisfied, I had to eat almost constantly -- this is definitely not for everyone.
It's funny, isn't it, how diets always used to be about ways of lowering fat intake and how current diets are all about eating less carbs? It's a total turn around.
I am going to go down and buy that book you suggested by Heller today because I have heard that low carb diets are the easiest way to lose weight. If they help out with cholesterol too, it's a win - win situation.
