There is a call in talk show on most NPR stations on weekday afternoons that I really enjoy.

Today a doctor was on insisting that the only thing that matters is calories. She wasn't too anti-Atkins. All kinds of callers checked in to talk about diets, esp. Atkins and her answer was always the same: calories are what counts. She said the government guidelines were only guidelines and had perhaps become to iconic. She said she would like to see exercise on the icon. She suggest 60-20-20 daily food in take: I guess she meant 60% carbs -- I didn't catch it.

Very interesting program but the gaall Aveva somebody, a professor doc type somewhere, was pretty dull. No matter what question or comment a caller made, she said calories are what counts.

THOUGHT I'd pass this along. . . I think you can listen to the show online if you go to npr.org
