I think he is right in this emphasis. <BR/><BR/>We have reduced fat consumption as obesity and diabetes have sky-rocketed. The theory requires revision. <BR/><BR/>The Japanese eat a lot of fish, bitter melon and green veggies which are entirely consisdtent with Atkins.hchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799594181016858701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-39595204915848622522007-06-18T14:14:00.000+10:002007-06-18T14:14:00.000+10:00HC,its suprising how you believe in discredited id...HC,<BR/><BR/>its suprising how you believe in discredited ideas like the Atkins stuff (check the US CDC) given the work you do.<BR/><BR/>Why not look at places people are not generally overweight and what factors contribute to it? The most obvious places are those in East Asia where people also have the highest life expectancy, like Japan, Korea, Hong Kong etc -- these people can essentially eat as much as they want given their wealth, yet don't. In addition, their diet is not protein heavy -- it is in fact quite balanced (including plain old rice). <BR/><BR/>I think the short story is that if you have a balnaced diet and don't eat too much, you won't become fat. This isn't genetic -- there are lots of fat second generation East Asians in places like the US and Australia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-87307053893261479382007-06-17T22:07:00.000+10:002007-06-17T22:07:00.000+10:00Harry Bacon and eggs is a shockingly bad breakfast...Harry Bacon and eggs is a shockingly bad breakfast for you.
