Look up, in a 1920s-era magazine, the "Grapefruit Diet" - it, too, would let one lose weight for a while quite successfully. <BR/> <BR/>Encouraging that they did not slam Atkins, albeit "claims that the low-carbohydrate Atkins diet could be dangerous due to its reliance on red meat and fat" were not only debunked but are not quite true in the first place. While that is the standard diet first recommended by the doctor, even in his original book he noted acceptable alternatives. One reason I suspect Atkins may actually be more "sustainable" (I dislike that word in its current eco-crap guise, but it is useful) is that it allows all sorts of substitutions and experimentation - effectively, anyone following the actual plan the doctor had develops a diet unique to that individual rather than dogma like "everyone must stop adding salt to anything" type of [idiotic] dogma.John Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801684602403824157noreply@blogger.com
