Tonight I watched the last half of a show (I missed the first half 
) called 'You on a Diet' on the Discovery Health Channel.
The first half must have included the WOE, the second half focused on the exercise. I did see some things that intrigued me so I got up and looked up the web site. http://health.discovery.com/fansites...k=fsmain_feat3
It's low carb. I'm sure to appeal to the public and the AMA, ADA, AHA, and other establishments, the saturated fat, trans fats and hydrogenated oils are limited...but ONLY those. It limits saturated fats to 4 grams per serving. I've never paid attention to my fats except for the percentages. So I went and played around in fitday. Other than red meat, everything I eat pretty much falls into that category, including mayonnaise, butter, olive oil, etc.
What's frustrating to me is that Dr. Atkins and his WOE is still regarded as "dangerous" to so many, yet a new book comes out, or a new tv show comes out and it will be all over the media about how wonderful it is. It will be compared to Atkins--we will hear, again, how dangerous Atkins is, how their diet is NOTHING like Atkins, blah, blah, blah. When the reality of it is that once you've gone through all the rungs of OWL as I have, my diet is virtually the same as what they are introducing as "new".
I'm going to be on the lookout for another airing of the show so that I can see the beginning. Did anyone else see it? What are your thoughts?
