Default Low-carb and Mediterranean diets beat low-fat for weight-loss, lipid changes at two years

"Doug Freyburger" wrote (2) the Atkins Foundation
funded the study.

This is both valid and invalid at the same time.


True. However, it is interesting to note that Doc McDougall bitched for
years that Dr. Atkins made a lot of money off his diet plan, but never did
any research. Now that the Atkins organization funds a study, he won't
accept the results!

The gray in my hair saw about 5 years worth of set back
in its advance.


Wow! Now that is one I never saw. How nice!

Yeah. Eating veggies is the low carb way. Strange how that
worked out. Strange enough that people who have never tried
low carb don't think it's a feature of the system.


Yeah. I loved veggies as a kid, but I don't find them very appealing as part
of a fat-free, high-starch meal. I like my olive oil sautees with a sliced
clove or 2 of garlic thrown in before the veggies.

In fact that is what I had for dinner. A huge panful of broccoli sauteed in
olive oil and garlic, then pepper jack cheese and eggs stirred in and
cooked. Salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Yum.

My whole family loves broccoli. My grandson expects it whenever he is here
for dinner. My new puppy... the first food he ever tried to steal and eat
from a grocery bag carelessly left on the floor... yep, broccoli. I give him
little sprigs of the raw stuff whenever I have it. He inhales it.
