That was fascinating-thanks for posting the link. It makes a lot of sense when the science is taken into account. We do tend to blindly follow guidelines without researching whether there is any substance behind them.

Love the blog following it - wildly dissenting views (she says smugly, knowing Atkins is the one that works! )

As we know LOL

The effing Daily Mail... The second most contradictory rag out there (after the Daily Express). With one hand it gives...the other it taketh away...

Guys, have you tried the beer the second one mentions - Michelob Ultra? 2.6carb per bottle, can't be all bad?

Hahahaha I was wondering the same!

I volunteer to be research guinea pig!

 

[ladyfelsham]

LMAO I noticed that one too - classic!

Really interesting reading, thanks guys. Nice that the only thing I got out of that last article was the Michelob Ultra too - will be looking out for it in Tesco - I just won't be told! And I really hope they go for the Atkins food range somewhere in the UK.

The first time I read about the Dukan Diet was in the Daily Mail - the article was saying how great and balanced the diet was (it's just as low carb really). And if you google 'Daily Mail Atkins Diet' it comes back with several Daily Mail articles saying how good the Atkins diet is!

It's so full of shi...I mean hypocrisy!

As far as I understand it from those professionals, energy=sugar. Why would you want loads of sugar in your system?

I'm an expert in eating - obviously not nutrition, but whatever I was doing before, it wasn't working.

LOL, I'm peeing myself at the comments.
