The basic problem with these quotes from Linda Huett is that she equates low carbing with eating so-called low carb foods. There are many low carb foods that are not LC.

Low-carb diets, such as Atkins and South Beach, have peaked, Weight Watchers International President and Chief Executive Officer Linda Huett said during a May conference call with investors.

You wish.


"The effect of this is that a large number of overweight people have moved away from structured calorie-restricting weight- loss programs and are doing their own diet in an unstructured way, focusing on reducing carbs by eating low-carb foods," Huett said.

Then, they need to read DANDR, Protein Power, etc. Because those do not advocate eating a steady diet of LC foods.

"The truth is calories count."

Agreed.

Huett said people will return to Weight Watchers when they realize low-carb foods aren't leading them to slimmer selves.

I don't think so.

"This is a sad situation when you realize these people have little chance of achieving real weight loss since they are simply replacing their normal foods and drinks with premium-priced low-carb versions of bread, pasta, chocolate, beer, often with the same caloric content," Huett said.

No sane person is out there slamming down LC foods. Linda Huett, you should read the book.
