Atkins diet?

[C*5_Dodger]

It's a shame then if they haven't revised the diet as the reviewer suggested Surely the advice from the worlds leading authorities on CVD can't all be wrong and a handful of mavericks right?

Dear Toby,

How I wish that it was possible to decide scientific differences by a popularity vote. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. At one time almost everyone thought the Earth was flat!

Warmest Regards Dodger

Shows how much I know because I thought the world was flat Diabetes apart I've lived a very active, healthy and full life following the advice and guidance of my health care professionals and until such times that the standard dietary advice changes - well I see no reason to change.

Dear Toby,

One cannot argue with that - all the best to you friend.

Dear heasandforth,

I agree, most of the establishment do not agree on the saturated fat issue, but there is growing evidence that saturated fat does not cause CVD. I hope the jury catches up with the science. On a non scientific note - our species has been eating animal fat for some 2 million years, the operation of evolution would ensure that Fat was not bad for us - or we would have died out! Have a look here (scoll down if you choose to follow the link) , the info' he presents is referenced at the end of the article. BTW, I eat a very high fat diet and have done so for 14+ years, I guess I'm just lucky . Oh, it wasn't Atkins thoughts, he died several years ago, the book was written by Westman, Phinney and Volek.

But then again, we've only been sitting around behind desks and driving around in cars for the past 100 years or so (ok, a bit longer re: desks!).

What was good for us 2million years ago isn't necessarily quite so good for us now (in the same quantities).

Andy 🙂

Dear Andy,

Absolutely right - too much of anything is not a good thing! It does not alter the premise that fat used wisely is not bad. You can say the same about carbs!
