I have read so much crap about low carb/Atkins in the UK media over the last few months that I'm really tempted to stand up and shout:

"hey you dozy idiots, come and hear the real facts from the horse's mouth I'll tell you how eating natural, unrefined food is so much better for you that eating the refined mush that the food manufacturers think is the key to providing what the eager masses desire. And if you don't believe me, that's your problem - if you want to go on eating traditional fish 'n' chips that's up to you Just don't blame me when you put on weight and feel like a bloated octopus "
