"People following the diet are encouraged to eat lots of protein like eggs and bacon and to keep clear of sugar and carbohydrates such as pasta, rice and fruit and vegetables."

Once again, we're dealing with folks who have not read the books. As a nurse who has worked plenty of hospitals over the years, and as a patient all too frequently, the food they serve is over cooked, often old, and never ever is anything whole grain offered. If you ask for WW toast, it's the type colored with carmel coloring, at least in the places I've been. Last time I was a patient, my DH and DS brought me food, else I would have starved for lack of anything decent tasting.
