Hi All!

I don't know if anybody has posted this, but I thought it was interesting... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17484912/

This kind of stuff irritates me:

“It’s a lot easier to follow a diet that tells you to eat bacon and brie than to eat predominantly fruits and vegetables,” said Dr. Dean Ornish, creator of the Ornish diet.

???

First, a 10-year study on low fat diets already indicates that a low-fat diet doesn't have any of the health benefits touted...and I really really really really REALLY REALLY hate it when "experts" mouth off about a WOE that they obviously know NOTHING about.

Even Dr. Oz, in "You: On a Diet", one of the most informative books out there, calls Atkins a "protein heavy diet".


But I'm preaching to the choir, aren't I??

[Lyssie]

ummm.. he's promoting his own diet by putting down others. Apparently others that he knows nothing about.

I'll try to read the journal article that's being published tomorrow. I'll probably end up rolling my eyes though.

Every time a study comes out with more scientific evidence that Atkins works and is healthy...the media always, always, always has to put a "BUT" in there don't they?

[Lyssie]

Yeah, I was going to steal the journal article from work and read it...

The good part is that it had Atkins as having the most loss *and* having the most people stick to it... to an extent... comparatively... along with the cholesterol and stuff being better with Atkins.

I was just about to copy and paste the link, when I saw you did it Lyssie! Thats' good.
I am half way through it, and saw a couple of things I'd like to quote, the Stanford Study being one!

[biogeek]

I read most of my journals online, so maybe I can do some cutting & pasting on some of the points from the journal article that's not in that news article. I'll try to remember to bring some ibuprofen to work...I predict a headache from reading it.

Jess, did you mean the Harvard study?
