Re: More Atkins

>I find it very upsetting, because I think Atkins really understood a LOT about

a certain type of metabolic problem, and god knows this eating plan has

completely changed my life. I might even say SAVED it. So I hate seeing it

bastardized and altered out of recognition. But I have no clue what anyone can

do to stem the tide.

When something changes one's life, usually you

will be understandably grateful! But humans have

a way of eventually gravitating toward WHAT WORKS.

Which, my prediction is, is a meat/vegie/fruit paleo type

diet (which is a lot lower in carbs than the average SAD

diet). Which is pretty close to the Atkins ideal for maintenance.

So the tide WILL go the best direction, eventually.

In the meantime, all your posts will help (BTW I got on this

group as a result from one " diehard " mentioning that most

GF foods are JUNK and mentioning Nourishing Traditions

on that list).

As for the WD type diet ... don't worry about it until

you need to. Ori allows food except carbs during the

" undereating " phase, and if you aren't eating carbs anyway,

it doesn't make much difference. In the next few years

a lot more research will come to fruition and the whole

issue will be much clearer.

I meant to add: Though this book is hardly one that a lot of folks here

will get much out of, I'm extremely found of Joe Ortiz' " The Village

Baker " and am adapting his practices as much as I can. Anyone

interested in " real bread " should have it.
