Oprahs diet and Atkins diet - almost the same
http://www2.oprah.com/presents/2005/...at_rules.jhtml
Overall, eat lean protein, two fruits a day, and all the green vegetables you want. --- The main rule: eliminate the white stuff-bread, pasta, potatoes, rice-as well as candy, pastry, cookies, cake. "A few people might get evil on me," Oprah says, knowingly-sugar deprivation can turn even a saint nasty! --- For the first month, stay away from whole grains (brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat cereals and breads). After that, you can slowly add them back. ******** Interesting how she isn't crowing loudly about low-carbing, especially when after a lifetime of failed attempts to lose the weight, she finally finds a diet that has worked. Anyone remember when she dragged a wagon full of 65 pounds of fat to illustrate how much she lost (and eventually put right back on). I think she is trying not to offend her advertisers. TC |

And she is supposed to have un-assailable credibility amongst her following. Yet, she would rather protect her advertizing revenue rather than promote a diet that could literally save lives and effect vast improvements to peoples' quality of life and health. If she really wanted to do good she could make her successful diet be known to everyone up front and loud. She could be pushing low-carb right into the mainstream. But she choses to go quietly and watch her pile of riches pile higher. TC |
