Yup...and I start every morning with a steaming mug of bacon grease!

"Atkins tells you to avoid things like fruits, so my nutrients were very limited," said Varun Uttamchandani, a first-year undeclared student who tried the diet for nearly a year.
"I quit because I was revolted by how much meat I had to eat," he said.

I take it that this guy thinks that veggies have no nutrients? Or perhaps he was doing that "all meat" version of Atkins that the media puts out?

"(In an ideal eating plan) most of your plate is pasta or rice, half of your plate is vegetables and fruits, a quarter of your plate is starch and a quarter of your plate is protein," Barke said.

I take it they don't teach math to dieticians? Given that they need it to calculate percentages of protein, carbs, fat, etc....that does explain a lot about what most dieticians recommend, percentage-wise, that people eat; they're doing the math wrong!  Either that, or she's using one very strange plate. |
