Re: Wouldn't you call the MC anti-Atkins?

Atkins- HORRIBLE DIET.

sounds like it will kill you.

what about heart disease?

A friend of mine was on it and was eating pork sausages cooked in butter for breakfast- and eggs- also cooked in butter-I think she may have eaten pork rinds for lunch-
Does anyone think about cholesterol?
Or is this just the- I want to be thin-I don't care if I have a heart attack-at least I'll be skinny, diet?
Hmmm.. yeah- sounds awesome!!! Where do I sign up?
NOT!

What I have found- and I'm pretty well read on the subject-
I should also mention that I am a female at an average weight for my height with low body fat- (5'7" , 137)

Eat your fruits and vegetables folks-
you're not going to get fat from them
(provided you don't cook them in butter, bacon fat, lard, etc...)

a portion of meat, chicken or fish shouldn't be larger than your fist.

a some kind of grain-

STAY AWAY FROM FLOUR AND Sugar (and dairy if you can)
cut down on the salt- (helps in the bloating dept.)

if you eat 5-6 meals daily (averaging 300 calories each)- you will be able to eat, not gain weight, feel good- and most importantly- be healthy.

oh, MOVING the body once in a while is good too.

and for cryin' out loud, stay away from the fast-food.

Here's to a healthy mind, body and spirit-
