In the News:

The latest incarnation of the high protein, high fat diet craze is the dead Dr. Atkins’ (may his fillet of soul rest in peace) recommendations to eat meat and vegetables and avoid carbohydrates.

This is another example of a program made popular by telling people what they want to hear, and not what they need to know to get healthy.

Individuals following this program may lose some weight in the short-term as they reduce their total caloric intake.  However, the long-term effect of a high animal food diet is an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, kidney disease, diabetes and cancer.  It is also hard on the animals and our planet.

A rational approach to weight loss involves the elimination of refined carbohydrates (sugar and flour products) as well as oil and highly processed foods including alcohol and dairy products.

One does not need to resort to eating large quantities of health compromising animal products to successful lose unwanted fat.  There is a better way that is both safe and effective.
