<sigh> rather it is low fat, high fat, moderate fat, low calorie...whatever it is, I am starting to get a little disgusted at the whole
"Oh, we have invented something new" thing with all of these nutrition and centers. Even if thye DON't directly rip-off Dr. Atkins, they jump on the Low CArb bandwagon and claim to be original in some way, yet they are probably still going to conform to the low fat principle because they are going to have limited knowledge and cross-information about the concept.
Slim Fast made bars that are low carb now. I never tried them, and maybe they are good. But they just completely, although subtly, reinvented their product concept. It is almost like companies saying,
"We have been wrong for 20 years, but we are right now. Sorry, we can't give you a refund or give you back your time you invested in us."
Instead, however, they say..." We now have a new product...Oh, low carb. Yes, in fact it is. Well, we are improving ourselves. Actually, we just want to offer more diversity to people in our products..."
And, as if it weren't enough that WW, SLim Fast and protein bars are mysterously aquiring new life, all of these 'doctors; spring up from out of nowhere and claim that really, they have been researching low carb for the last 15 years and their eating plan lowers risk of heart attack. It just so happens that their eating plan IS low carb...but that is a coicidence...
Wow, talk about being on top of things. And I Thought the fashion world blatently copied each other mercilously and without discretion. The nutrition world and it's circle of doctors/health experts and trainers are just cut throat compared to 600+ designers riping-off Coco Chanel's dress-for-every-occasion in 40 differnt shapes in colors.
