Are you equating a Zone diet, (40% carbs), with Atkins?


Just for your information, maintainance Atkins is hardly distinguishable
from Zone...


OK, it's apparently changed. I read the book back in 1970 or
thereabouts. So Atkins is 40% carb calories nowadays?
Not a low carb diet then. One wonders what all the fuss is.
Stick to the good old, tried and true, varied, wholefood, eucaloric
diet with regular exercise and you won't likely go wong, unless you
habitually wrestle with busses

See there is your main problem. You do not even know what a low-carb
diet is. The mainstream recommends a 55 to 65% carb diet. Anything
less than this is a low-carb diet. 40% carbs is a low carb diet. Now
this is a major misconception on your part. Here you are arguing with
everybody and coming across as if you know more than everybody,
showing nothing but arrogance, making your high-handed assertations
and you do not even understand what ow-carb is and why it is low-carb.
Maybe you ought to get to understand the parameters and the context of
the discussion before you open your mouth and make nonsensical
arguments that end up embarassing you yet again.
