Default Re: Endo's assessment...is Atkins a quack or is the medical comm

Old thread but worth checking out. When my doc growled at me to lose weight she said "out of all my patients that I tell they have to lose weight, you are the one that I KNOW will actually do it" she is familiar with my go get em attitude. When I walked in over 40 pounds less she looked up, looked back down at her clipboard and said "doing Atkins"? I confirmed that I was eating equal portions of protein and veg and eating a bit of low glycemic fruit here and there. She just looked me over and said "well whatever it is, its working and keep doing it". That was the confirmation I needed, and although having a fatty liver means my loss is painfully slow on the scale, my doc is behind me on it. She doesn't promote it from the rooftops, but she seems to realize that its helping me.
