Atkins adds carbs over time.

The basis of Atkins is that you tailor the plan to your body's needs. I
don't see anywhere that it forces you to eat a certain amount of fat. I thought that gout was affected by too much purine, not fat, and the fat will not raise your cholesterol, it's the heavy duty carbs that do. Besides which the cholesterol thing is a lot of hooey.

I think the low-carb fad is over. I rememberr the fad. It came and went as expected. Entirely predictable. But I started low carbing 1999-06-21 well before the fad and there were bursts of posters back then. It can't be about the fad coming and going. |

I just went on google and looked at the traffic history of all of the groups under alt.support.diet.*. They all show a gradual drop in traffic year to year, no burst of traffic in January but some in Febuary. The only one that showed an increase in traffic Dec to Jan was the Weight Watchers on. Looks like it's more about new posters posting in places other than UseNet not about low carb itself. |

I think you're right, Doug. I don't think most people even *know* about Usenet anymore. I have yet to meet anyone in RL who even knows what newsgroups are. That's not saying much -- but it's just as telling as the fact that no one else I know does LC, either. Of course, I ask them about the newsgroups. I don't ask them about LC. :-D A number of big Internet Service Providers dropped a huge number of newsgroups last year. In particular the "alt" groups were dropped completely by these ISPs. If memory serves they were just going to keep "The Big 8" groups. But yes, blogs (MySpace, FaceBook, Live Journal, etc.) have drawn a significant chunk of the writing that used to go to newsgroups. |
