The quote is the usual misinformed drivel perpuating misconceptions about Atkins.

However I agree with low-glycemic diets....they work. That's how I lost my weight initially. I suspect it will work for anyone that doesn't have addiction issues, or that is otherwise messed up with regards to carbs.

Anything that turns people away from pre-packaged, highly processed, refined junk is a step in the right direction.

Still, they should stop being so freaking hysterical about low-carb. They fail to acknowlege the wide-spread existence of grain intolerance. In any case, some people do better with severely restricted carbs. Without an induction period such as Atkins, how is anyone ever going to realize this unless they try it.

I wish there was less hysterical arm waving and more logic when it comes to nutrition
