Sounds like an interesting read. I'm now 170th on my library's hold list; there are 5 copies, which is promising.

Back in 1972 there wasn't any UPF on Atkins' diet except for D-Zerta (artificially sweetened gelatin dessert), which I didn't like anyways. It was and still is amazing how fast the original diet nipped in the bud cravings & food obsessions.

I rarely eat any UPF so when I do, I always notice the effects on me. Sugar/starch causes sleepiness & brain fog, sugar & wheat cause excruciating plantar fasciitis (& equivalent in hands), processed plant proteins cause extreme joint pain. I never have ANY problems when I avoid these foods. I'm starting to wonder if people are having hip & knee replacements because of pain caused by what they eat (including things like too many oxalates). A colleague with fibromyalgia is given a high-carb diet and wonders why it doesn't help. Peripheral neuropathy is considered common with aging (or is it the result of continually eating crap, including what is fed in assisted living facilites?).

For the past 30 years, even before I went LC/real food, I solved the problem of no time to cook by cooking large batches infrequently & freezing individual portions of meat, poultry, stews.
