Hey - a name I recognise from the last time I was here.

You finally woke up after Doug has already engaged
you starting several days ago. Real sharp, ehh?

Yep - I just remembered the name. If that gives you some sort of thrill,
then enjoy. Glad to have been of service.

Exactly. Atkins was attacked so much because his diet
was popular and his books were best sellers. The so
called health experts were not going to be attacking someone
who's diet people never heard of nor were using.

And on what basis did they attack it? For one, they said LC would
make your kidneys fail. Sound familiar? It's exactly what
troll claims. Yet, he brings up the Dukan diet as one that
is good. Dukan starts people off at 0 carbs, almost pure
protein, no vegetables for 10 days. What's up with that?
The very same "experts" have attacked Dukan too.

When are you going to actually read Dukan's book? Every time you say "ten
days" it is clear indicator that you have not yet read the book. Most who I
know who have adopted the diet do as he recommends and stick to two to four
days, the majority (who are not hugely fat) only two days - as Dukan
recommends.

Until you actually read the book and stop parroting misinformed comments
about it there is little point in re-covering old ground.

Also, I DO NOT recommend Dukan - I simply compared a part of his diet with
my normal diet. If someone asks me for diet advice - someone who I would be
prepared to help - I would recommend a completely different regimen.
