Slim pickings hit Atkins diet company
Ignoramus27209 wrote: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...439381,00.html But in the fickle world of dieting, the fad has moved on. The focus now is on the glycaemic index of foods - the rate at which they are broken down into glucose in the blood. The GI index, originally used by doctors to help people with diabetes regulate their diets, formed part of the Atkins theory, but rivals said its interpretation was too harsh to follow. Any diet, including Atkins or simply low carb, will be a fad for many who simply wish to lose lots of weight before their wedding, high school reunion, etc. I cautiously predict any diet known to man will have it's time in the sun, and will wane, being held in esteem by it's most ardent followers. Industry experts said that while the original diet was very popular, the diet products never were. "Once they started trying to flog their own products, consumers asked whether it was a money-making machine rather than a proper diet," Sian Harrington of the food trade magazine the Grocer said. Quoting a food retailer trade magazine about the retail qualities of the Atkins products seems appropriate. Having a food retailer trade magazine comment on the diet itself seems slightly out of their league and a little self-motivated. Coff 325/276.5/185 |
