Five years ago, my diabetic father went on the Atkins Diet and his dietician said he was "going to kill himself." Three stone later and with pharma consumption down from ten pills to one he just ignores them, as do I. I feel a lot healthier on Atkins and have lost 2 stone without even trying. Now, NHS guidelines have shifted a little too, but in the States many Doctors are, as is the way of these things, calling carbohydrates "poison." So which religious facton will win? Will my healthy cuts of meat and steamed vegetables be on the "approved" list or will the vegan nut-munchers win? My diet, as proven by blood tests, general health and weight loss is healthy (for my metabolic type at least). But they usually go after eggs and cheese and meat. <br /><br />Kind of like how ASH went after Alan Carr despite his stop-smoking method being 20 times more effective than NRT.<br /><br />Oh, and the UK National Obesity Forum....

Every time one of these joyless medico or pseudo med pricks wants to do a press release or any other kind of media if they're not actually a TV or newspaper doctor and employed to do it then it costs them 50 grand - to be made up of 50% from the organisation they represent and the rest from the personal income of those making the report. That should persuade them to shut the fuck up unless they're really sure something is genuinely and properly bad for us, and even then to tell us just once and then keep it to themselves.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.com
