I agree the articles are getting better and better. This is because we do not get news from journalists. They all tend to be followers and parrot the already acceptable facts. But what is acceptable is evolving in Atkins favor due to the overwhelming evidence.

I do take a couple of exceptions to the article:

[QUOTE]One theory: Atkins dieters may eat less because of a loss of appetite resulting from ketosis, in which the body —deprived of carbohydrates — partly breaks down body fat and turns it into fuel. Another theory: People who have initial success on the diet are spurred to stick with it longer.


This is the DESCRIPTION of weight loss! If this does not happen, then you do not lose weight!

Regarding limited choices: Yes, if you are on the Atkins, then, since society offereings are so one-sided, our choices do seem limited. For example, when you go into a 7-Eleven store you have: small pkg of ham, boiled egg, chunk of cheese, pork rinds. Quite limited because the rest of the whole store is all junk. But if you go to a store with good fresh food, you can eat the majority of items, except for the junk section.
