Default Another case of misinformation

The Atkins diet is popular, as is the Atkins style of eating — a diet low in starch and high in protein, said Fernstrom. However, she emphasized that a diet void of carbohydrates is not necessarily healthy. Lean protein with fruits and vegetables to substitute starchy carbohydrates is ideal.

The reporter seems to think that the Atkins diet contains NO carbohydrates! She should read the book and realize that we DO eat veggies and some fruits! And that this is NOT a high protein diet!

I just hate it when someone doesn't take the time to educate themselves!
