My Uncle has a diet called, "if it's white, it ain't right."

bananas and fish.)

Nutrasweet is white too, I sense a conspiracy.

It would be rather unlikely that a person who lost 100 lbs on Atkins
would be worse off, compared to not losing the weight.

so eating lots of fat even tho it means losing weight would be
considered a good thing?

100 pounds is a tremendous accomplishment, regardless of how it's acheived.
Assuming it wasn't the result of illness or a tapeworm, yes.

And what about double choc chip muffins!!

Is that a rhetorical question?

This diet finds somewhat more discussion on
alt.support.diet.low-carb,
rather than here.

it always gets me when people post messages like the OP's on
Usenet. i
figure the best way to get a topic discussed it to actually
introduce
it as a topic, rather than just whining about why no one talks
about it
anymore.

I would consider it a good thing, yes. Dangers of eating fat, as such,
have been overstated.

Yet a low fat diet will decrease LDL cholesterol (the bad kind). Here's a
recent study:
http://tinyurl.com/72law

"CONCLUSIONS: Previous national dietary guidelines primarily emphasized
avoiding saturated fat and cholesterol; as a result, the guidelines probably
underestimated the potential LDL cholesterol-lowering effect of diet. In
this study, emphasis on including nutrient-dense plant-based foods,
consistent with recently revised national guidelines, increased the total
and LDL cholesterol-lowering effect of a low-fat diet."

As usual this study contradicts your religious beliefs so therefore I know
you will consider it "junk science."

i'm not saying that losing 100 lbs isn't a good thing (especially if
one is 100# overweight), but at 2# per week, what nasties could one be
developing over a years' time?
