Hi there, bike2work! You must be in good shape.

There have been countless studies of Atkins, but the establishment hates to admit they could be wrong.

The newest study was presented yesterday at the annual meeting of the american heart association.

Äfter six months, the people on the Atkins diet had lost 31 lbs, compared to 20 lbs. on the low fat, aha diet.

Total cholesterol fell slightly in both groups. However, those on the Atkins diet had an 11 per cent increase in HDL, and a 49 percent drop in Triglycerides.

On the AHA, low fat diet, HdL was unchanged and the triglycerides dropped 22 per cent.(The Toronto Star)


What bothers me, though, is the insistance that Atkins is meat and fat only. Really, who do you know who eats as many vegetables as we do? I eat tons more veg than I used to when I would fill up on junk. Bye for now, Nancy
