I was watching a show today about different food plans/diets, particularly different plans used by celebrities (I think it was on E! but I was doing housework at the same time and I'm not really sure) and they mentioned Atkins. The so-called expert, an MD, started to talk about Atkins and said "Atkins consists of high protein, lots of it, and very little else. You can lose weight on it but it is not the healthiest way to lose. You can't keep eating NO CARBS forever."

Argh! This kind of misinformation from an "expert" is so frustrating and is exactly the reason why so many LCers get grief from those around them. Obviously, this guy got his information from some other guy who got his wrong information from some other guy, etc. and NOT ONE of them has ever read the book, or studied the research.

Just had to vent.....
